More about Alissa
- 7 years' experience

- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over ten years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have practiced in a variety of settings including outpatient mental health clinics, schools, residential facilities, and in-home based services. As a therapist, my goal is to provide an atmosphere during treatment that promotes personal growth, guidance, and support for my clients. My areas of specialty include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and treatment for various mental health disorders. My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature with a focus on the mind body connection during treatment and utilizes therapy models that include Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy. In my spare time I enjoy spending time on self-care activities that include spending time with family, engaging in outdoor activities, playing with my two labs, traveling, reading books, and cheering for our New England Sports teams. I look forward to walking beside you during the next chapter of your life journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
