About Alyssa
Alyssa Galletto is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, or compassion fatigue. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
Alyssa focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can speak plainly about what they are feeling. She listens for patterns that get in the way of day-to-day functioning and helps break those patterns into small, workable steps.
Background and approach
Conversations center on what matters most to the person sitting across from her, and practical ideas are offered to try between sessions. She also works with issues that often accompany life transitions, such as caregiver stress, divorce and separation, pregnancy and childbirth, and workplace challenges. Topics like guilt, shame, loneliness, and forgiveness are addressed with straightforward guidance that respects each person’s pace.
Alyssa emphasizes concrete communication skills and self-care strategies so people can notice progress sooner. She supports those seeking clearer life purpose and a healthier relationship with themselves. Sessions aim to build confidence and more sustainable coping skills.
People who prefer flexible contact can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling around therapist availability.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online therapy
Alyssa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method helps people break cycles of worry and respond differently to stressors.Another approach centers on building practical skills for communication and emotion regulation. It teaches concrete tools for handling conflict, improving workplace interactions, and managing strong emotions like grief or shame. These techniques are useful when daily routines and relationships are being rebuilt after change.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they will try techniques, adjust strategies, and track small signs of progress until a good fit is found.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well if internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging provide quick check-ins or continued support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
