01About Alyssa

Alyssa McCarley is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, straightforward support. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Her style centers on clear tools and steady encouragement.

She began working in mental health in 2020, during the COVID period. Before that she worked as a first responder, and that background informs her calm, direct approach. Alyssa has six years of experience in counseling and works from Texas as an LPC.

Background and approach

Alyssa has experience supporting people with intellectual and developmental differences alongside co-occurring mental health needs. She also has experience with people who have been involved with the justice system and those recovering from addiction. Her views emphasize that past experiences can explain choices but do not define a person.

Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive processing therapy, and she combines elements from dialectical behavior therapy, schema work, and other techniques when they fit a person's needs. She prefers to match methods to the individual rather than use a single approach for everyone. Sessions focus on learning skills that transfer into daily life.

Alyssa watches for small changes and helps people build on them. Outside of work she enjoys reading, hiking, family time, and walking her dogs.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Alyssa commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and step-by-step changes, which translate well to online formats. She also uses cognitive processing therapy to help people make sense of traumatic memories and reduce their power over daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alyssa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts tools as progress is made and reviews what is or isn’t helping at regular points in treatment.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, shorter interactions, and flexible ways to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to keep practicing skills consistently.
