About Alyssa

Alyssa Sangrey is a licensed mental health counselor based in Vermont who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and questions about identity and purpose.

Background and approach

She works with concerns ranging from depression and self-esteem to parenting challenges, postpartum mood changes, and social anxiety, and she integrates several therapeutic methods to respond to each person’s needs. Her counseling style emphasizes collaborative exploration rather than expert instruction.

Alyssa draws on cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, build practical skills, and deepen self-awareness. She also uses narrative and dialectical approaches when addressing issues like attachment, communication problems, guilt and shame, or coping with life transitions.

With an LCMHC credential and four years of clinical experience, Alyssa offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence designed to promote reflection and growth. She guides clients through change by listening closely, reflecting their experience, and helping them develop tools that fit their values and goals.

Prospective clients can start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions according to availability.

Approaches for Online Therapeutic Growth

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; in an online setting this translates into practical exercises, thought records, and skill practice that can be reviewed together during sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the therapist’s genuine presence, which supports emotional processing and self-exploration in every format from video to messaging. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, offering concrete strategies for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to learn about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day circumstances, then tailor a combination of techniques that best fits those needs rather than prescribing a single method from the start.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy or dispersed lives and can increase continuity when schedules are tight. These formats allow for regular skill coaching, homework review, and ongoing support while offering flexibility in how and when clients connect with a licensed professional.
