About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults 18 and older who feel stuck, overwhelmed, ashamed, or disconnected. Common concerns listed include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, and guilt and shame.
Alyssa frames problems as things that show up inside relationships and inside how people relate to themselves. In sessions she talks through concerns alongside clients rather than positioning herself as an expert who tells them what to do. She emphasizes honesty and presence from both people in the room as the starting point for change.
The therapist’s work draws on client-centered therapy to center the person’s experience, cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and shift patterns of thinking and behavior, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and narrative ideas also appear when helpful to make sense of painful memories or recurring themes.
Alyssa mentions that faith or religion can be part of what people bring, and she is open to working with or without that element depending on each person's preference. She aims to help people find steadier ways of living with difficult feelings, including guilt and shame, by exploring relationships, expectations, and practical coping steps.
Her practice is based in Vermont and sessions are conducted in English. For those considering starting, the described intake process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the platform's online flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alyssa uses client-centered work to focus on each person’s experience, helping people name what matters and decide the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to try small, concrete shifts that alter how someone feels. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills offer breathing, grounding, and emotion-regulation tools that people can practice between sessions when feelings escalate.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Alyssa will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, and then gently test methods that fit the person’s life and needs. Adjustments are made as goals evolve so the approach stays practical and relevant.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or make it easier to use skills in daily life between meetings. If a person prefers shorter check-ins, fewer visual demands, or a pace that matches work and family schedules, those practical needs are part of how format choices get made.
