Remote care and therapeutic methods
Alyssa offers online sessions that pair structured skills work with trauma-focused processing. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, or difficulty managing day-to-day stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is available for building practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
For trauma-related concerns, Alyssa is a certified brainspotting therapist and integrates trauma-focused strategies alongside Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches. This combination supports both the processing of traumatic material and the development of a collaborative, goal-oriented plan. She typically works with adolescents, adults, and families and will tailor the mix of methods to each person’s needs.
Online sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or using text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people participate.
