About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont who helps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ashamed. She works with adults and focuses on practical steps toward feeling more peaceful and confident. Many come with stress, anger, relationship strain, grief, or questions about identity and life purpose.
Alyssa writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. She uses a conversational, down-to-earth style rather than acting like an expert.
Background and approach
Sessions start by talking through what feels most urgent and what change would make life easier. Alyssa helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, and then practices small, doable changes that build over time.
Her approach draws on client-centered work that centers the person's experience, cognitive behavioral strategies that address unhelpful thoughts and actions, and dialectical behavior ideas for managing strong feelings. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are also woven in to help people rewrite difficult stories and stay present during hard moments.
Alyssa has four years of clinical experience and brings her personal authenticity to the process. She aims to create calm space where people can explore trauma, family problems, parenting stress, LGBT concerns, and issues like guilt, shame, or control. Therapy is a collaborative effort focused on small steps and real-life changes.
People who choose Alyssa typically want straightforward conversation, clear tools for coping, and a therapist who will listen deeply while helping them practice new ways of responding. She supports adults working through depression, anxiety, anger, life transitions, and related challenges.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person brings. It helps people feel understood and supports exploration of values, identity, and relationships in a calm, nonjudgmental way. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping in moments of crisis or overwhelming stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alyssa collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, checks in about what helps, and adjusts plans to fit goals and preferences. The process is shared and practical rather than prescriptive.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for full conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing one another. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to use a camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum when change takes time.
