About Alyssa

Alyssa Davis is a licensed mental health counselor who uses a straightforward, practical approach to help people feel steadier in daily life. She draws on nine years of clinical experience and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and issues with self-esteem. Alyssa also addresses addictions, grief, relationship and family concerns, and adjustment during life changes.

She works with concerns related to ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her sessions aim to be clear and goal-oriented. She mixes client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behavior. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change, while solution-focused techniques keep conversations practical and short-term when that fits.

Alyssa has experience with more specialized concerns too, including first responder issues, personality disorders, process addictions like gambling or problematic exercise, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, traumatic brain injury, and visual impairment. She adapts approaches to the person in front of her rather than a single method. Therapy with Alyssa is conversational and collaborative.

She aims to set clear steps between sessions and to build coping skills that feel usable at home. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from Florida.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy

Alyssa commonly blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means the conversation begins with what matters to the person and builds understanding through active listening. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and tests small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She may also use motivational interviewing when someone feels unsure about change. That approach helps people talk through ambivalence and find personal reasons to move forward. These methods aim to be practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Alyssa will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. The client’s needs and preferences guide whether sessions stay solution-focused, skills-based, or more exploratory.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. These options increase flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic tools as in-person work, adapted to each person’s pace and goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
