About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with four years of experience. She works with adults 18 and older and helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, and issues linked to trauma and identity. She also supports people navigating parenting, career pressures, and life changes.
Alyssa focuses on the role relationships play in how we feel about ourselves. In sessions she listens, reflects, and talks things through with clients rather than acting as an expert who tells someone what to do. That means conversations often look like exploring patterns from family of origin, communication habits, and attachment concerns to see what gets in the way of feeling more grounded.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and dialectical behavior ideas, mixed with mindfulness and narrative methods. Practically, that can mean trying small behavior changes, learning ways to manage intense emotions, and rewriting the stories people tell about themselves.
People commonly bring worries such as social anxiety, shame or guilt, control and emptiness, infidelity or jealousy, postpartum and pregnancy-related stress, and difficulties with forgiveness. Alyssa also helps with career pressures, life purpose questions, and coping after loss or abuse.
Sessions are conversational and focused on the person in front of her. Clients can expect straightforward talk about strategies to manage distress, attention to relationship patterns, and time spent noticing how past experiences shape present choices.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alyssa uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in ways that fit online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can clarify what matters to them. CBT looks at unhelpful thoughts and practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. DBT offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships when reactions feel overwhelming.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Alyssa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then help choose which methods to try first. She checks in over time and adjusts the plan based on what feels useful and realistic for the individual.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a student schedule, a lunch break, or a commute-free day, and it can allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Licensed professionals often use video or phone in different ways to match a person’s needs, and Alyssa will discuss what works best for timing and frequency during the initial match questionnaire.
