Alyssa Galletto

Alyssa Galletto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in New Jersey with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck by focusing on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem. She also addresses compassion fatigue and workplace stress alongside life purpose questions and pregnancy or postpartum concerns.

In sessions she keeps conversation direct and practical. She encourages people to name what feels most pressing and to try small steps that can reduce overwhelm. Her work includes talking through relationship patterns, grief reactions, and problems at work that sap motivation.

Alyssa aims to make sessions a place where clients can say what they think and feel without judgment. She notices recurring thoughts and behaviors and brings these observations into the conversation so clients can consider different options. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, or isolation.

Her practice covers issues often tied to major life changes, such as divorce, caregiving strain, or questions about life purpose. She helps clients clarify values and priorities and test practical changes that fit day-to-day life. She also addresses communication problems and forgiveness work when these come up.

People who choose her often want straightforward discussion and steps to try between sessions. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first visit, which sets the tone for focused, ongoing work together.

Practical approaches for online sessions

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on improving emotional coping. Cognitive-style work helps clients notice thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, and then practice alternate ways of thinking to reduce distress. Behavioral strategies involve small experiments and changes to daily routines that can build momentum and reduce avoidance.

An emotion-focused approach helps people name and tolerate strong feelings like grief, guilt, or shame so those feelings become easier to manage. This can be useful for relationship strain, loss, and compassion fatigue where understanding emotional responses leads to clearer choices about what to do next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what fits the person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between visits.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn the formats offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid travel time so more consistent work is possible. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises to shorter or longer meetings to match what will best fit everyday life.
