About

Alexandrea "Ally" DeFelice, LMHC, practices from Massachusetts and brings 14 years of professional experience to work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. She honors each person's perspective and frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert of their own story. Her approach recognizes patterns that come from attachment, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm, and she supports clients in identifying strengths they can use to address those challenges.

Ally incorporates a range of clinical approaches to meet different needs, including cognitive and behavioral techniques, skills from dialectical behavior therapy, and reflective work that attends to meaning and values. She attends to related areas such as communication problems, attachment issues, grief around abandonment, and struggles with guilt, shame, or impulsivity. Prospective clients are invited to take the first step when they feel ready; Ally acknowledges how taking that initial step can require courage and offers a respectful, collaborative setting for exploration and growth.

Remote care options and therapeutic approaches



Alexandrea DeFelice offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She uses a client-centered stance that places each person’s narrative and goals at the center of the work, allowing sessions to adapt to what feels most relevant and useful for the individual.

She frequently integrates cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and revise unhelpful thinking patterns and to build practical coping strategies. When emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, elements of dialectical behavior therapy can be introduced to teach skills for distress tolerance, mindfulness, and communication. Attachment-based work is also part of her practice when exploring relationship patterns and their impact on present-day functioning.

These approaches are offered collaboratively: Ally partners with clients to choose which methods fit their needs and to set goals together. The mix of video, phone, chat, and messaging options allows flexibility in how clients connect and continue work between sessions.
