About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with four years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, ashamed, or disconnected. Anger is one of the concerns she lists alongside anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and grief. She also helps people dealing with parenting stress, career change, and LGBT-related issues.
Alyssa frames therapy around relationships - the one a person has with themselves and with others. Sessions focus on talking through what’s happening now and how past patterns show up in current life. She describes her role as a co-journeyer rather than an expert, and aims to be present and genuine in sessions.
Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies, along with mindfulness and narrative ideas. In practice that can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and using moment-to-moment skills to manage strong feelings. Narrative work may help people rewrite difficult stories about themselves.
Alyssa also addresses attachment and communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and family of origin concerns. She works with people coping with trauma, postpartum issues, and grief. Her listed tools are conversational, practical, and focused on creating change in day-to-day life.
Sessions are held in English and she practices in Vermont. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Alyssa uses client-centered work to make sessions about the person in front of her. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and following what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and lets them set the pace and goals for their work.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT often involves practical exercises and testing new behaviors between sessions to reduce unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy adds concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful when anger or relationship conflict is present.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Alyssa will work with each client to choose which methods to try based on their goals and what feels workable. Together they can adjust methods and homework as progress is made.
The therapist profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also make it easier to use worksheet exercises or practice skills in between meetings without promising a particular format.
