Alyssa Sangrey , LCMHC

Alyssa Sangrey is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with four years of experience, working with adults aged 18 and up. Many people who seek her support report feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lost, frustrated, or ashamed, and they often arrive carrying the effects of trauma or strain from difficult relationships. Some clients are navigating how faith and spirituality fit into their lives while others prefer a secular approach. Others come because they feel sad, disconnected, worried, or generally 'out of it.' Despite these varied starting points, common goals tend to emerge - freedom, a greater sense of peace, and clearer confidence in who they are.

Alyssa views healing as something that unfolds within the context of relationships - the one a person has with themselves and the ones they share with others. She works collaboratively, exploring concerns alongside clients as a co-journeyer rather than positioning herself as an expert who has all the answers. Sessions are intended to be a calm, attentive space where thoughts and feelings can be witnessed and understood.

The primary tool Alyssa brings to the work is her authentic self; she encourages clients to bring their authentic experience as the foundation for therapy. From that shared honesty, growth and healing can begin, guided by practical approaches and a relational stance.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Collaborative Care

Alyssa integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting a person to explore their own values and sense of self - an approach that can help with self-esteem, identity questions, and relationship concerns. CBT is a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can benefit those struggling with persistent mood swings or relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alyssa collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance allows therapists and clients to adapt methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect in ways that suit a person s schedule and comfort - by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different formats for support, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
