About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, and other life challenges. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and aims to restore a sense of direction and calm. Alyssa practices in Vermont and speaks English.
Alyssa approaches therapy as a cooperative process rather than an expert-led fix. She centers conversations on the person in front of her and listens first, responding with warmth and straightforward feedback. Her style is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy and draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and narrative and dialectical approaches when helpful.
In sessions she focuses on real-life problems like parenting stress, relationship communication, career confusion, and anger. She also supports people facing trauma, postpartum challenges, social anxiety, and questions around identity and sexuality. Work often includes talking through experiences, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying new ways of handling difficult moments.
Alyssa highlights the therapeutic relationship itself as a place for healing. She aims to create calm space for people to name painful feelings and test small changes. The process can include practical skills, shifts in perspective, and building steadier ways of coping.
Clients who choose her often want a collaborative, compassionate approach that balances feeling heard with concrete steps. With four years of experience as an LCMHC, Alyssa offers steady support while helping people find more confidence and clarity in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
A client-centered approach places the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens deeply, follows the client’s priorities, and supports choices that feel right for the individual. This approach helps with feeling heard, reducing shame, and building self-trust.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple, practical strategies to test assumptions and change patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, or relationship strain.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy brings attention to balancing acceptance and change. It offers skills for handling intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing reactive behavior in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can shift over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as session options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also permit options that avoid being on camera or that use less bandwidth, depending on what the client prefers.
