Alyssa Sangrey, LCMHC

Alyssa Sangrey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who works with adults 18 and up. She helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, ashamed, or lost. Many clients come for worries about relationships, anxiety, grief, or life changes like parenting and postpartum challenges.

She frames therapy as a shared journey rather than a lecture. Sessions aim to make space for honest conversation so clients can begin to feel more grounded and understood. Alyssa emphasizes meeting each person where they are and building on what matters to them, whether faith is part of their life or not.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and narrative work are added when useful to help people notice patterns and reframe stories that hold them back. Therapy focuses on small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life.

Clients bring specific concerns such as jealousy, attachment struggles, family of origin issues, communication problems, and trauma or abuse histories. Other common topics include self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life transitions. Sessions give time to name feelings, try new skills, and practice different ways of responding.

Alyssa trained and works as an LCMHC in Vermont and has four years of clinical experience. If someone is ready to begin, she supports them through the first scheduling steps and helps shape ongoing work around clear goals and preferences.

How Alyssa’s Approaches Help Online

Alyssa uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's concerns and perspectives. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can decide the pace and goals of therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about current struggles, preferred ways of working, and concrete goals. Together they try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Alyssa can explain how she usually structures sessions and what to expect during the first meeting. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing care across life transitions while keeping the focus on steady, achievable progress.
