Alison Marrelli , LCSW

Alison Marrelli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with 12 years of professional experience. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential that indicates specialized training in clinical assessment and psychotherapy. Her practice centers on supporting people through grief and loss, strengthening motivation and confidence, nurturing self-esteem, and helping clients adapt to major life changes while addressing compassion fatigue.

She works from a strengths-oriented stance, holding the view that each person is the expert of their own story and brings resources that can be used to overcome difficult challenges. Taking the initial step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Alison offers steady, compassionate support throughout that process. Her clinical training and collaborative approach aim to help clients clarify goals, build practical coping skills, and increase resilience as they move through transitions and recovery.

Evidence-Based Support for Life Changes via Online Therapy

Alison uses evidence-based techniques tailored to the challenges people bring to therapy. She offers grief-focused supportive work that helps individuals process loss, remember what matters, and build routines that support healing. She also uses skills-oriented interventions to address stress, anxiety, and attention-related difficulties - teaching practical tools for managing overwhelming thoughts, improving sleep and focus, and reducing daily tension. Additionally, Alison employs strengths-based coaching approaches to bolster self-esteem and guide clients through major life transitions, helping them clarify values and set achievable goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alison partners with each person to explore what methods fit best given their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support without long commutes. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives, allow timely check-ins between sessions, and make it possible to maintain continuity of care during life changes or scheduling challenges.
