01About Alyssa
Alyssa Allen is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, career questions, and depression. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is happening now and what a person wants to change. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and accessible for everyday life.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interactions with others.
Background and approach
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when past events are still causing strong reactions in daily life. Alyssa focuses on psychoeducation so clients understand why they feel and react the way they do. She breaks down strategies into clear, small steps that can be practiced between sessions.
The work often centers on developing skills for managing panic attacks, persistent worry, low mood, or the fallout from trauma. She brings seven years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. Sessions are conducted in English using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their life. Alyssa aims to make therapy a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is checked along the way.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Alyssa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that drive anxiety or low mood, with simple homework and practical tools to try between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used when past events continue to create intense emotional reactions; it involves guided processing to reduce the hold of those memories.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and better communication when strong feelings get in the way. Choosing an approach is a shared decision - the therapist and client talk about current needs, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. This allows therapy to stay focused on the client's goals and real-life demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people connect face to face when schedules allow, phone sessions can fit quieter or low-bandwidth situations, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options aim to make it easier to get consistent help without major disruption to daily life.
