About Alyssa
Alyssa Ingle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 18 years of experience working with adults. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, issues with self-esteem, depression, and concerns tied to family and life transitions. Her practice also pays attention to adoption and foster care matters, blended family questions, body image, codependency, and recovery after separation or domestic violence.
Alyssa uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core ways to work. She focuses on identifying strengths and building practical tools clients can use between sessions. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented, with straightforward steps aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day coping.
People meet with her to talk through relationship and communication problems, commitment worries, control issues, and the emotional impact of caregiving or aging in the family. She also addresses more complex presentations such as dissociation, disruptive mood dysregulation, and co-occurring conditions, helping clients break issues into manageable parts.
Alyssa places importance on concrete skills like grounding, thought-challenging, and short-term problem solving. She will work with a person to pace trauma-focused work and to choose tools that fit that person’s life and goals. Progress is tracked through practical homework and clear steps rather than long, abstract plans.
Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys country music, pickleball, museums, and Monet. That personal side informs a straightforward, down-to-earth approach in sessions.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Alyssa commonly uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical steps. In an online session this might look like identifying one small change to try between meetings and checking in about results the next time. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) addresses trauma-related thoughts and reactions with structured techniques such as gradual exposure and thought-challenging; online work can follow the same step-by-step pacing and skills practice used in person.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit. If one method does not feel like a good match, they adjust the plan and try other evidence-based options collaboratively.
The original profile does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. They also let people use sessions from quieter surroundings or when stepping out during a work break, helping therapy become a practical part of everyday life rather than an added chore.
