Alyssa Sangrey, LCMHC - Therapist in Vermont

About Alyssa

Alyssa Sangrey is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who focuses on issues parents and caregivers often face. She works with adults 18 and older who feel overwhelmed, stuck, ashamed, or disconnected. Alyssa aims to help people find more peace and clearer sense of self while navigating tough life moments like grief, relationship strain, or changes around pregnancy and postpartum experiences.

Alyssa uses calm presence and straightforward conversation in sessions.

Background and approach

She listens closely and avoids acting like an expert who tells people what to do. Instead she joins clients as a co-journeyer, helping them notice patterns, make small changes, and try new ways of handling stress and relationship problems. Her practice draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, narrative approaches, and client-centered work.

These tools are used to address things like anxiety, depression, parenting stress, trauma reactions, communication problems, and issues with guilt or shame. Sessions translate therapeutic ideas into practical steps people can try between meetings. Alyssa holds the credential LCMHC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

She is licensed in Vermont and has four years of clinical experience. She offers sessions in English and does not work with clients outside the United States. To start, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a session based on therapist availability.

Alyssa’s style is direct but gentle, focused on helping clients regain calm, improve relationships, and move forward with clearer goals.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Alyssa frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting-related stress by breaking problems into concrete steps and experiments.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques teach practical strategies for handling intense feelings and improving communication during heated moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alyssa will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. Together they try methods, adjust what isn’t working, and build a plan that feels doable between sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, to check in between appointments, and to practice skills in real time. For many people the mix of live conversation and messaging support helps maintain steady progress while balancing work and caregiving demands.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
