About Alisha
Alisha Liljegrenolsson greets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn out. She focuses on everyday concerns like sleep problems, low self-esteem, work stress, anxiety, and the strain of relationship and family issues. Alisha holds an LCPC, which means she practices as a licensed clinical professional in Montana.
She aims to make reaching out feel manageable and straightforward for someone taking a first step. In sessions she keeps language plain and practical.
Background and approach
Conversations center on what is happening now and what can change in small steps. Alisha draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking, and uses acceptance and mindfulness ideas to reduce struggle with painful feelings. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s goals and lived experience.
For people with trauma-related distress, Alisha lists EMDR among the approaches she can use when appropriate. Therapy plans are shaped around the person's needs rather than a fixed program. Alisha has six years of experience working with concerns that include compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, and intimacy-related issues.
She also supports people navigating major life changes, aging-related questions, cancer-related stress, and the effects of disasters. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She explains how the subscription model works and helps people move from a short matching questionnaire to scheduling their first session.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Alisha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven actions. ACT helps when worry or avoidance is getting in the way of living a meaningful life. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety and stress, and then practices concrete skill-building to change them. For trauma-related symptoms she lists Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as an approach she can use to address distressing memories and their emotional impact.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alisha will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods over time so the plan fits practical life demands as well as emotional needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skill practice, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
