About Alyssa
Alyssa Ingle is a licensed professional counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family challenges, and low self-esteem. She works with concerns that range from everyday pressures to complicated experiences like trauma, adoption and foster care issues, and divorce or separation. Alyssa writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
Her approach centers on Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, combined with other evidence-based techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying strengths, building practical tools, and setting small goals that add up to real change. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful from the first visit. Alyssa takes a collaborative stance in the room.
She asks questions, offers feedback, and helps people try out new ways of coping with communication problems, codependency, commitment issues, or control struggles. Work may include problem-solving around blended family issues, body image, dissociation, or challenges tied to aging and caregiving. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and practices in Missouri as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor.
That practical background informs how she structures sessions and selects interventions that match a person’s goals and pace. Outside of work she enjoys country music, pickleball, trips to museums, Monet’s paintings, and hunting for a good pair of shoes. Those interests help her connect with people in a relaxed, down-to-earth way.
How Alyssa Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, achievable goals and quick, practical steps. It helps people identify what’s already working and build on those strengths to reduce stress and improve relationships. Sessions often include small homework tasks and specific strategies to try between meetings.Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) combines talking through experiences with skill-building to manage strong emotions and change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is useful for people coping with traumatic events, dissociation, or disruptive mood symptoms and may include practice in grounding, emotion regulation, and communication skills.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level. Treatment plans adjust over time, and Alyssa checks in regularly to make sure techniques are helpful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers voice only. Live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or days when leaving home is difficult.
