About Alysia

Dr. Alysia Smith brings a background in developmental psychology and clinical counseling to her therapeutic work. She holds a doctorate in Developmental Psychology and two master’s degrees - one in Professional Counseling and another in Human Service Counseling with a cognate in Addiction and Recovery. Licensed in Wisconsin, she combines academic training with six years of professional experience to support people facing a range of life challenges.

Her clinical focus includes stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship difficulties, and trauma and abuse. Dr. Smith approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address what feels overwhelming. She works collaboratively to identify those strengths and practical steps forward.

Beginning therapy can require courage, and Dr. Smith acknowledges that first step. She aims to create an encouraging, strengths-based environment where clients can explore patterns, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change. Her training in counseling and addiction recovery informs a practical, respectful style that centers the client’s goals and resources.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective strategies. It is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and practical problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can be particularly useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and supporting personal goals, which can be helpful for addictions and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Smith works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit their life. The choice of techniques is guided by the client’s priorities and evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations and arrange sessions that fit work, family, and daily routines. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to apply skills in real-world settings.
