About Alison

Alison Marrelli is a Utah licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing grief, low self-esteem, life changes, and compassion fatigue. She approaches care with respect for each person's story and focuses on building strengths. Alison aims to support people taking the first steps toward a more satisfying life.

Alison believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She works alongside people to identify practical steps that match their goals and values. Sessions are aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and increasing confidence rather than labeling or defining a person by a diagnosis.

With 12 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW, Alison has supported people through transitions like caregiving strain, divorce, adoption and foster care questions, and aging concerns. She also addresses challenges such as anxiety, depression, sleep and eating struggles, and issues related to intimacy or attachment.

Her work includes attention to complex life contexts like chronic illness, chronic pain, and co-morbidity, plus relationship concerns such as commitment, control, and blended family dynamics. Alison also offers support around identity and sexuality topics including LGBT matters and kink-affirming discussions when they are relevant to a client’s goals.

In sessions Alison uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She encourages clear, manageable steps and helps people practice new approaches between meetings. If you are ready to begin, she asks that you select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule based on availability.

How Alison’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Alison uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and skills practice. One common approach helps people identify small, doable actions to reduce stress and improve mood; it is useful for problems like depression, anxiety, and low motivation. Another approach centers on strengthening relationships and attachment patterns by noticing how interactions affect feelings and behavior; this can help with intimacy, commitment concerns, and blended family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alison will work with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. Clients and the therapist check in regularly about what is or isn’t working so strategies can be changed together.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy day. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce travel time, making it simpler to maintain regular contact while working toward goals.
