About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey, LCMHC, works with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ashamed and want to feel steadier in their lives. She speaks plainly about painful emotions like anxiety, grief, and depression and helps people name what is happening so they can take the next step forward. Alyssa uses a warm, collaborative approach rather than positioning herself as an expert.
She listens closely and helps clients explore how their relationships with themselves and others shape their experience.
Background and approach
Many people bring concerns about parenting, relationships, trauma, or major life changes when they start sessions with her. In sessions she draws on client-centered ways of working, together with cognitive behavioral strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when useful. That means helping people notice patterns, try small changes, and practice concrete coping skills between sessions.
Mindfulness and narrative ideas also inform how she helps people make sense of painful events and memories. Alyssa trained as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and has four years of clinical experience. She practices in Vermont and supports people who want to address stress, self-esteem, anger, and issues like postpartum depression or grief.
She also works with those navigating LGBT concerns, attachment and family of origin problems, and questions about life purpose. She offers straightforward conversation and practical tools, while also making room for deeper reflection. If someone wants help sorting through parenting stress, relationship strain, or trauma-related symptoms, Alyssa aims to be a calm partner on that path.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Alyssa often uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, respect, and following the person’s lead so goals come from what matters most to them. That approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and decisions.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is useful for specific worries, parenting stress, and managing day-to-day symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy contributes practical skills for regulating emotion and handling intense moments, such as grounding techniques and distress-tolerance strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work in therapy. Alyssa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit into a busy day. These options help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, parenting, and other commitments.
