About Alyse
LICSW in Massachusetts with 10 years of clinical experience, Alyse Scanlon focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She works with adults who are facing overwhelming or recurring problems and uses evidence-based approaches to help them manage symptoms and make practical changes.
Alyse emphasizes short clear goals in early sessions. She helps people identify patterns that feed anxiety or conflict and then practices new ways of responding. Sessions often include straightforward cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness exercises to reduce intense emotions and panic symptoms.
She also uses narrative techniques to help clients retell difficult experiences and separate identity from painful events. That can be useful for people coping with shame, guilt, or complex family histories. Conversations may focus on concrete steps to improve communication and repair trust after infidelity or separation.
Alyse has worked with first responders and people connected to adoption and foster care matters, bringing practical skills to those specific stresses. She pays attention to caregiving burdens, fatherhood concerns, and workplace strain while aiming for clear, manageable changes in daily life.
Sessions are delivered with collaboration and respect. Alyse asks about a person’s goals, suggests approaches fitting those goals, and adjusts the plan as needed. To begin, readers are directed to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How Alyse applies CBT, mindfulness, and narrative work online
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically identify unhelpful thoughts and teach practical skills to test and change them, which helps with anxiety, panic, and work stress.Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These short exercises can lower intensity during panic or simmering anxiety and are taught in straightforward steps during sessions.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate their story from who they are. Through guided conversation, clients may reframe past events and reduce shame or guilt connected to family history, adoption matters, or relationship hurt.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about goals, try methods suited to those goals, and adjust the plan together as progress is tracked. Expect a mix of skill practice, thought work, and telling or retelling experiences to find new perspectives.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for instance by avoiding travel, shortening check-ins between obligations, or allowing sessions during quieter times. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises so they work in a virtual setting and to match each person’s practical needs.
