Alisyn Cundiff, LCSW

Alisyn Cundiff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and the fallout from trauma. Her approach is down-to-earth and aimed at making therapy useful for daily life.

She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Alisyn also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and the way people connect with others. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox for building awareness and motivation.

Alisyn has three years of clinical experience and has worked with people facing grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges. She also supports those dealing with relationship conflict, blended family issues, substance use, and patterns like codependency or impulsivity. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that fit each person’s life.

Her style is warm, respectful, and interactive. She emphasizes a strong working relationship and moves at a pace that feels manageable while still aiming for progress. People can expect a mix of conversation, skill-building, and practical exercises to try between sessions.

Therapy sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Alisyn works with each person to shape a plan that matches their needs and daily routine.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Alisyn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that feed worry or low mood and then test small behavior changes to see what helps. She also incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationship patterns shape current connections and to build healthier ways of relating. Client-centered therapy is part of her approach too, which means sessions focus on the person’s own goals and pace rather than a fixed script.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what is and isn’t working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or reflections into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family schedules.
