About Alyssa Allen

Alyssa Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 7 years of experience supporting people through life transitions and emotional challenges. Her work focuses on helping clients build deeper self-understanding through clear, practical psychoeducation and skills-based therapy, with an emphasis on stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, parenting concerns, and career-related stressors.

In sessions, Alyssa helps clients make sense of the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns so they can respond to life with more intention and steadiness. She incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured therapy approach that helps people work through distress connected to traumatic memories, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which emphasizes tools for emotion regulation, mindfulness, and improving relationships. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in learning, reflection, and steady practice over time.

Alyssa maintains set office hours on Thursday (5:30p-8:15p), Saturday (2:30p-5:30p), and Sunday (3p-5p). If messages arrive outside those hours, she responds within 24 hours. If a message feels like an emergency, she encourages contacting 9-8-8 or going to a local emergency room and reconnecting once the immediate crisis has passed.

Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Online

Alyssa Allen integrates structured, skills-focused therapy approaches that translate well to online care. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, mindfulness, and navigating relationships more effectively, which can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, or intense emotions feel hard to manage. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a guided method that helps clients work through distress connected to past experiences and trauma, supporting a different relationship with painful memories over time. She may also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice more balanced ways of thinking and responding.

Because people and goals are different, choosing the right approach is part of the process. Alyssa works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, identify what feels most relevant, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent, especially when schedules are busy or energy is limited. Clients can connect with Alyssa through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing support that fits into real life while still focusing on meaningful, step-by-step change.
