About Alyssa

Alyssa Van Lopik is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who concentrates on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, substance-related issues, trauma, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on eight years of clinical experience across inpatient psychiatric settings, partial and intensive outpatient programs, and independent practice in the Austin community to support clients in moving toward their goals. Her work is rooted in a client-centered, strengths-based approach that treats each person as the expert on their life.

Alyssa blends evidence-based strategies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment plans that address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and coping skills. She aims to help clients identify practical steps, develop resilience, and increase opportunities for greater well-being.

Outside of clinical work she is a Registered Yoga Teacher and enjoys reading, cooking, family time, and travel. Alyssa received her undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan and a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago before practicing in Texas.

Approaches That Inform Online Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening to each person's priorities and building treatment around their values and goals. This approach focuses on collaboration and helps people set the pace and direction of work based on what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients examine connections among thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to identify patterns that maintain distress and develop practical coping strategies. DBT emphasizes skill-building in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce impulsive reactions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, try techniques that fit their preferences, and adjust methods over time to find the most helpful combination.

Online sessions using video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access care from different locations within Texas. These remote formats allow for ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and flexible scheduling so clients can pursue consistent support in ways that work best for them.
