About Elyse

Elyse Alleman is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with stress, career questions, parenting strain, relationship conflict, anger, bipolar disorder, and low self-esteem. Her tone is calm and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions.

Elyse blends a person-centered outlook with narrative ideas to help people tell and reshape their story.

Background and approach

She asks curious questions and listens without judgment. That gives space to notice patterns and make small changes that add up over time. Sessions often include straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to manage symptoms day to day.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Elyse aims to match techniques to what a person actually needs rather than using one fixed method. Her work looks at the whole person - physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs - so goals fit real life.

She offers validation and practical guidance while encouraging people to take the lead in decisions. Many clients leave with clearer priorities and simple strategies they can use right away. Elyse brings 16 years of experience in the helping field and holds the LPC credential, licensed in Pennsylvania.

She meets people where they are and supports steady steps toward better functioning and greater self-understanding.

Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Elyse directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and practical methods work online

Online work with Elyse often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe how they tell their life story. Narrative work looks at the stories that shape choices and helps people name and change limiting plots. Client-Centered Therapy is also central - she focuses on listening, empathy, and letting the person guide goals while offering gentle feedback and acceptance.

She pairs those approaches with cognitive behavioral ideas to teach clear, usable skills for managing mood, anxiety, and stress. The therapist and client will decide together which methods fit best, and that choice can change over time as needs and goals evolve. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video works well for richer conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging lets people track progress between sessions. These formats give flexibility while keeping the focus on useful tools and real-life changes.
