About Alyssa
Alyssa Blaeser is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and self-esteem. Alyssa also lists attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and post-traumatic stress among her focus areas.
Alyssa draws on a range of evidence-based techniques to fit what a person needs in the moment. She describes using psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. She also uses cognitive-behavioral methods to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Other methods she references include dialectical behavior skills for managing strong emotions and solution-focused steps for practical problems.
Her background includes work in clinical, court, and community settings, with experience in child welfare that shaped her approach to difficult family dynamics. Alyssa has a Master of Social Work from Boston University and earlier dual bachelor degrees in psychology and family and human development.
In sessions she tends to focus on clear goals and practical steps, alongside conversation about how past experiences affect present feelings. She also offers parenting coaching and help with conflict resolution when family roles are involved. The overall aim is to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and track what helps.
Alyssa likes hiking, visiting National Parks, reading, and spending time with her husband and children when she is not working. Her background as a mediator also informs how she approaches communication and resolving disagreements.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Alyssa uses psychodynamic ideas to notice how past relationships and patterns shape current feelings. That approach helps when guilt or shame are linked to family roles or long-standing patterns. She also applies cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical alternatives that reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss what fits your needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as sessions progress. The collaboration means trying an idea, checking how it lands, and changing course when necessary.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break, meeting without commuting, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth or camera time is difficult. Licensed professionals, including therapists, use these practical choices to help sessions fit everyday schedules rather than add extra complexity.
