Hi, I’m Alaysia Anderson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two Master’s degrees—one in Social Work from the University of Southern California, and another in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I am also a proud member of Psi Chi, The International Honor Society in Psychology.
My clinical experience spans working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in supporting clients dealing with childhood trauma, substance use, PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, insecure attachment styles, and relationship challenges.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in building authentic rapport, client empowerment, and psychoeducation. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory, Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic, and Mindfulness-Based Practices. I also integrate Internal Resourcing and body-based awareness to help clients understand how trauma is held in the body and to cultivate a sense of internal safety.
I am passionate about helping clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and insight into maladaptive coping strategies. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can explore the origins of maladaptive beliefs and behaviors—and work toward lasting personal growth. I am here to join you on your journey of healing and self discovery.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
