I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania with over 11 years experience in therapy. I also have a background in social work with expertise in linking individuals to community resources. My approach in therapy is person centered with the goal of developing a good therapeutic relationship, which has been shown to be the most important ingredient in a successful therapeutic experience. I also have experience in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) which are helpful in treating many issues. I have experience with the following diagnoses: dépression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse, PTSD, and psychotic disorders.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Alyssa has been great to work with over the last few months. She understands my hectic schedule and has really helped me guide through things. I’m excited to continue working with her for the foreseeable future
Alyssa has been fantastic to work with on my mental health journey. She makes me feel validated and never makes any problem seem to small to focus on. She addresses my concerns in order of how I prioritize them and really lets me steer how I want to do therapy. Her guidance on CBT has completely changed how I handle things in my day to day life and I can’t thank her enough.
Alyssa is a great listener and shows me that she understand what I’m saying, where I’m coming from, and where my concerns are. She provides perspective, and support for creating necessary boundaries. I appreciate the work we are doing.
Alyssa is very smart and knowledgeable. I enjoyed my session with her
Thank you Alyssa. Phenomenal.
