Dr. Alysia Smith holds a doctorate in Developmental Psychology and earned two master’s degrees in Professional Counseling and Human Service Counseling, with a Cognate in Addiction and Recovery. She is licensed as a professional counselor in Wisconsin (WI LPC 8090-125) and holds a clinical counseling license in Kansas (KS LCPC LCPC 03699).
Based in Wisconsin, Dr. Smith brings six years of professional therapy experience to her work. She has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship concerns, and trauma and abuse, drawing on her training in both counseling and addiction recovery.
She approaches therapy with the view that each person is the expert on their own life and that they bring strengths that can help them address what feels challenging. Taking the first step to begin therapy often requires courage, and Dr. Smith honors that decision and the commitment it represents.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy is often as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
All therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to get support for many everyday mental health concerns.
