About Alli
Alli LaRue is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting struggles, family tensions, intimacy-related concerns, and depression. She also focuses on adoption and foster care, blended family issues, communication problems, mood disorders, and related concerns.
Alli centers sessions on the client's own knowledge of their life. She listens for strengths and helps people uncover practical ways to use those strengths when problems feel overwhelming. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person's comfort level. She emphasizes clear goals and small, achievable steps toward change.
In practice she draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships and patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client and applies elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness for skills that reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help making changes or finding direction.
Her background includes long-term work across settings with people of differing ages and life stages. She is based in Ohio and provides services in English. For new clients, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Alli's sessions aim to be practical and focused. She helps people name what is happening, try new ways of interacting, and build on what already works in their life.
How Alli integrates EFT, client-centered work, and CBT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how strong feelings shape the ways people relate to others and themselves. It helps name hard-to-identify emotions and notice interaction patterns that keep problems going, which can be useful when addressing intimacy-related issues or family tensions.Client-centered work means sessions follow what matters most to the client. The therapist listens closely and builds the session around the client's concerns and goals rather than a preset agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms like anxiety and panic.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative way lets clients test approaches and keep what is useful.
