About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with four years of experience. She works with adults 18 and up who bring concerns like anxiety, stress, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and social anxiety and phobia. Her practice includes attention to parenting, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and life changes.
Alyssa starts by listening to the concrete problems someone is facing. She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions focus on practical skills alongside talking through difficult memories and emotions.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. That mix lets her use direct behavioral strategies, emotion regulation skills, and reflective work about personal stories and relationships. She describes the relationship in sessions as collaborative rather than expert-driven.
People can expect to work on things like communication problems, attachment issues, control and emptiness, guilt and shame, and coping with life transitions. Alyssa also addresses concerns connected to pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress when relevant.
Sessions emphasize practical tools for daily life as well as slower reflective work. The therapist invites questions about how therapy will fit into each person’s schedule and needs, and asks people to consider what they want to change before the first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alyssa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and reflection so people feel heard while they name what they want to change.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills can be practiced between sessions to help with overwhelming feelings, strong reactions, and social anxiety challenges. The therapist and client work together to choose which methods make the most sense based on goals, preferences, and what feels manageable.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since options are determined by the practice. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or let someone avoid camera use on days they prefer not to be on screen. The focus is on finding a practical setup that helps therapy become part of everyday life rather than a separate burden.
