Alyssa Sangrey, LCMHC

Alyssa Sangrey is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. She speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use. Alyssa aims to help clients find more peace, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness to create an approach that is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions include talking through what’s happening now, noticing patterns of thought and behavior, and trying small changes to see what helps. Alyssa also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and narrative work when those tools fit a person's needs.

With four years of experience and a Vermont LCMHC credential, she offers solid clinical grounding while keeping the process down to earth. People often bring issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, or questions around identity and life purpose.

In conversation she focuses on building a respectful connection and bearing witness to what feels hard. She aims to be a co-journeyer rather than an expert who tells someone what to do. That helps clients try changes at a comfortable pace and notice what makes a real difference.

Work in sessions is practical and person-centered. Expect concrete skills you can try between meetings and space to make sense of past experiences. If someone wants a thoughtful, steady guide through change, Alyssa offers supportive, goal-focused care in Vermont.

How Alyssa’s Approaches Fit Online Care

Alyssa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into clear steps.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which means she listens openly and follows what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach helps people feel heard and build trust before trying new strategies. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are added when someone needs tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alyssa collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She checks in often and adjusts the plan as progress happens or needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for quick check-ins, and messaging supports short reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules shift.
