About Alyssa

Alyssa Crawford is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who centers her practice on respectful, empathic care and individualized treatment planning.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she draws from evidence-based approaches to help clients navigate relationship stress, mood concerns, anxiety, trauma, grief, and challenges such as ADHD and addiction. She emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while tailoring conversations and interventions to each person's circumstances and goals.

Her work addresses a broad range of life issues including parenting and intimacy-related concerns, family and blended family dynamics, communication and attachment problems, and coping with major life transitions. Alyssa incorporates practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods to support clearer thinking, improved emotional regulation, and actionable steps toward change.

She encourages people to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin therapy and collaborates with them to develop a plan that fits their needs and values.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Alyssa integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and attachment-based therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping with life changes. Attachment-based therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to help clients understand how early and current relationships influence stress, intimacy, and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alyssa works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so treatment remains relevant and practical. Her emphasis on compassion and individualized planning supports a gradual, goal-oriented pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use a mode of communication that best suits each clients needs.
