Alli LaRue

Alli LaRue is an Ohio-licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strains, intimacy concerns, and women's issues. She meets clients where they are and focuses on uncovering strengths to make small, steady changes. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at making therapy feel useful from the start.

Alli believes the person in therapy knows their own story best. She uses that perspective to guide sessions and to build goals that matter to each client. Conversations are collaborative and grounded in everyday life, not just theory.

Her background stretches across 17 years of practice in Ohio. During that time she has helped people with mood and panic concerns, grief from separation or divorce, and challenging family dynamics like blended families or adoption and foster care situations. She has also supported people processing sexual assault and handling pregnancy or childbirth transitions.

Clinically she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In session she mixes listening with practical strategies so people can try things between meetings.

Alli works in English and does not take international clients. She aims to empower people to move toward greater satisfaction, whether that means easing anxiety, improving communication, or navigating parenting and life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Alli draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete exercises and short practices that can be reviewed together in session and tried between meetings. She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the client's experience and priorities so goals come from what matters most to the person. Emotionally-focused therapy is another lens she brings to relational or intimacy concerns, helping people recognize interaction patterns and work toward changes in how they relate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alli will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed over time in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow people to check in from places with quieter surroundings. It can also let the therapist review worksheets and homework together, or use shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about the session rhythm that will fit into your life.
