About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults 18 and older who feel stuck, overwhelmed, lost, or ashamed. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, and questions about life purpose.
Alyssa pays attention to how people relate to themselves and to others. She invites clients to talk through difficult feelings and experiences, including trauma, grief, parenting challenges, postpartum depression, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns. She also helps with career uncertainty, social anxiety, anger, and struggles with guilt or shame.
Her approach blends client-centered care with practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and try new ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the client.
Alyssa emphasizes an authentic, straightforward therapeutic relationship rather than an expert-led model. She describes working alongside clients to explore their concerns and to practice concrete strategies that fit daily life. She acknowledges that faith can be part of some clients' experiences and also respects those who prefer a secular approach.
People who are considering therapy with her are guided through a brief matching questionnaire and then can schedule an initial appointment. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes accepting the client’s perspective and working at the client’s pace to clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone feels unsure about their next steps or disconnected from themselves.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress, and it gives concrete tools that can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense feelings and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on how well methods fit the client’s needs and preferences. That conversation is part of early sessions rather than a one-time decision.
Confirm current online session options before booking, because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let them choose quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods to remote work so that skills and discussion carry over into daily life.
