About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting stress, and questions about identity or life purpose. Her style is calm and down-to-earth, focused on listening and responding to what each person actually needs.
Alyssa draws on somatic approaches alongside talk-based methods to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and the mind.
Background and approach
She mixes client-centered work with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness is woven in to help people slow down, build awareness, and make different choices in hard moments. She aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they feel and try new ways of coping.
Sessions often include tracking patterns, experimenting with small changes, and grounding exercises that connect breath and bodily awareness to thought and emotion. Alyssa has four years of clinical experience and holds the LCMHC credential. She practices in Vermont and conducts therapy in English.
Her background supports work on attachment, communication problems, control issues, shame and guilt, postpartum concerns, and post-traumatic stress among other areas listed in her specialties. People who choose her often want a collaborative therapist rather than an expert who just gives answers. She helps clients name what matters, set realistic next steps, and build skills they can use between sessions.
How somatic and skills-based methods translate to online therapy
Somatic work helps people notice how stress and emotion show up in their bodies through breath, tension, or movement. Online sessions can include gentle grounding and body-awareness exercises led by the therapist to help reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment sensing.Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own answers. In remote sessions this looks like space for people to speak their truth, receive reflective feedback, and shape goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and homework that are easy to use between sessions for worry, low mood, and anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust techniques over time. That partnership makes it easier to try somatic practices, thought-focused exercises, or mindfulness depending on what works best.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let people fit sessions into busy lives, practice skills in real time, and stay connected from home or while traveling. Many find remote work reduces logistical barriers and makes regular practice and follow-up easier to maintain.
