About Alyssa
Alyssa uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In sessions she helps people notice practical strengths and build everyday tools. Conversations are goal-oriented and often emphasize small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.
She also works with issues that touch family life and identity, including adoption and foster care, blended family issues, body image, and aging or geriatric concerns. Other areas she addresses include communication problems, codependency, commitment struggles, and reactions after divorce or separation.
Alyssa is accustomed to helping people who carry complex or overlapping difficulties, such as co-morbidity, dissociation, disruptive mood patterns, dependent personality traits, and the aftermath of domestic violence or other trauma. She explains techniques plainly and practices interventions people can try between sessions.
Outside of work she listens to country music, plays pickleball, visits museums, and enjoys Monet’s paintings. She also admits to enjoying a good shoe shopping day now and then.

Approaches you may try online
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear, short-term goals and identifying practical steps that lead toward those goals. It is useful for people who want focused work on what is different when problems ease and for those unsure which small change could help most.Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy blends practical thought and behavior work with attention to trauma reactions. It helps people learn skills for managing anxiety, distressing memories, and patterns that follow traumatic experiences.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to test methods, adjust techniques, and pick the approaches that fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative selection helps shape each session plan.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care during life changes, but the exact practical arrangements should be confirmed when scheduling.
