Alyse Scanlon

Alyse Scanlon is a licensed independent clinical social worker with ten years of experience supporting adults through hard transitions. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and the aftermath of trauma. Alyse emphasizes practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.

She helps people rebuild self-love and clarify what matters to them. Communication skills and finding purpose are common themes in her work. Alyse also has experience with issues tied to adoption and foster care, family of origin concerns, and fatherhood issues.

Many clients come for help with panic, guilt, shame, or compassion fatigue. She has worked with first responders and people facing infidelity or commitment questions. Divorce and separation are listed among her focus areas, and she offers help for people managing those transitions.

Alyse uses approaches rooted in everyday skills. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness tools are used to manage stress and difficult emotions in the moment.

Her style is calm and collaborative. She aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable. To begin, Alyse asks a few questions about what you want to work on and then builds a plan together.

How Alyse's approaches translate to online therapy

CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, panic, and patterns that keep stress going. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to stay present and reduce reactivity to difficult feelings, which can help with compassion fatigue and trauma responses.

Choosing the right methods is a team effort. Alyse talks with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggests techniques to try. She adjusts the pace and tools based on what works in sessions and in everyday life.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how she currently meets with people. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus remains on practical skills you can use between sessions and on making progress that fits your daily routine.
