About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont who helps adults facing stress and anxiety. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day. She often meets people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
Alyssa works alongside clients rather than acting as an all-knowing expert. Sessions emphasize honest conversation and small, doable changes that can reduce tension and improve mood.
Background and approach
Alyssa blends several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, client-centered methods to strengthen self-understanding, and mindfulness practices to ease intense emotions. She adapts tools to life situations rather than following a single rigid plan.
Many people come for help with relationships, family concerns, identity questions, grief, or trauma and abuse. Alyssa also supports those dealing with parenting stress, postpartum concerns, career crossroads, and grief related to life changes. She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her style is calm and direct. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and try new ways of coping. Over time, the goal is greater clarity, more reliable mood management, and stronger confidence in decision making.
Approaches that translate to online care
Alyssa commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people name their feelings so they can make clearer choices; it suits people wanting a supportive, exploratory space. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy skills to help manage intense emotions and improve coping. DBT skills include grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques that can be practiced between sessions. Choosing which approaches to use is a joint process - she works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other routines while still using the same therapeutic tools you would in person.
