About Alyssa
Alyssa Sangrey is a licensed clinician who works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and the daily weight of parenting or work. Her style is straightforward and compassionate so people can talk about what matters most to them.
Alyssa uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She listens first and follows what the person brings to sessions, then offers practical ideas from cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness when helpful.
Background and approach
She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of the stories they tell about themselves. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Alyssa describes herself as a co-journeyer rather than an expert.
That means she supports people as they try out new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating, rather than telling them what to do. Her work often touches on attachment and communication problems, family of origin issues, shame and guilt, and questions of life purpose. She also supports people facing postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.
Alyssa holds a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, LCMHC, and practices in Vermont. She has four years of clinical experience and offers a calm, down-to-earth presence in sessions.

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Alyssa often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about their lives and relationships. Narrative work invites clients to notice patterns, separate themselves from problem-saturated stories, and try new meanings that fit their goals.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy, and following what the client brings to sessions. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alyssa will talk with each person about their needs, values, and goals, and together they choose which methods to try. She adjusts the work as people learn what helps them most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a steady internet connection or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
