About Alyssa

Alyssa Sangrey is a licensed mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont who works with adults seeking relief from stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She welcomes clients who are navigating identity and LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, postpartum issues, and complex emotions like guilt, shame, anger, or emptiness. Alyssa’s approach addresses both present difficulties and patterns rooted in family of origin, attachment, communication, and trust.

Her style centers on collaborative exploration rather than expert-directed instruction. She aims to create a space where clients can bring their whole selves and be met with empathy as they examine feelings, beliefs, and relational patterns.

Alyssa draws on tools from Internal Family Systems alongside client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to tailor work to each person’s needs. With four years of clinical experience and a Vermont license (VT LCMHC 068.0134468), she combines clinical training with an emphasis on authenticity and presence.

Prospective clients can expect a therapist who values partnership, curiosity, and practical strategies for building greater calm, clarity, and self-understanding.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of distinct parts with different feelings and roles; therapy helps people get curious about those parts, reduce internal conflict, and build a more compassionate relationship with oneself. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and teaches practical strategies to shift those patterns for improved mood and functioning. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alyssa treats that choice as collaborative. She works with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful for their goals and adapts techniques over time based on what emerges in sessions and what clients report as effective.

Online therapy with Alyssa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or work while tailoring the format to individual preferences.
