About Alli

Alli LaRue is an Ohio-licensed social worker with 17 years of experience who helps parents and caregivers manage stress, anxiety, and parenting concerns. She talks with people about family conflict, intimacy-related struggles, and mood challenges in a straightforward way. Her style is supportive and focused on practical next steps that feel doable for busy families.

Alli believes each person knows their own story best and looks for the strengths already present in a family.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to uncover those strengths and use them to tackle current problems. She encourages small, concrete changes that build confidence over time. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and communication problems.

Alli has also supported people dealing with mood disorders, panic attacks, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). She brings experience with pregnancy and childbirth concerns, grief from divorce and separation, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse. Therapeutic approaches she uses include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

These approaches are woven into sessions to address parenting stress, social anxiety, and young adult issues. The focus is on clear tools and steady progress. All sessions are offered in English and take place online in formats that fit different schedules.

Parents who want practical support and a calm, collaborative partner may find this style helpful.

Online support

Approaches that guide online parenting support

Client-centered therapy centers the client's experience and priorities. It involves attentive listening and reflection so parents feel heard and can identify their own solutions. This approach helps people who want a collaborative, respectful space to sort through family challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions include practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and improve parenting responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people notice and shift those patterns to improve closeness and communication.

Finding which approach feels right is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what’s most urgent, then suggest methods to try. Decisions are made together and adjusted as progress continues.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options help fit therapy into school runs, work breaks, or busy days while keeping care consistent and focused.
