About Alyssa
Alyssa Crawford is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Montana with six years of clinical experience. She helps people deal with relationship strain, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, grief, addiction concerns, and changes that come with major life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Alyssa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to focus on how relationships and personal values shape decisions and feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques are available where they fit the client's goals.
In a typical session she listens to the current problem, checks what has worked before, and tries small, practical steps to test different responses. She helps people practice new skills between sessions and reviews what needs adjusting. The work is concrete and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on changing thoughts and habits that lead to distress.
Alyssa has experience supporting people through issues like infidelity, blended family stress, caregiver fatigue, codependency, and problems that come from family of origin. She also addresses anger, impulsivity, ADHD-related struggles, and questions about life purpose or career direction.

How her approaches translate to online work
Alyssa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions often include clear goals, homework between sessions, and practical skill practice that fits into daily life.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how close relationships shape feelings and behavior, and Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters to the client. Attachment work can help with intimacy or family-of-origin concerns, while client-centered conversations help clarify values and priorities.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will review your concerns, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps most. The plan can combine elements from CBT, attachment work, DBT skills, or solution-focused steps depending on goals.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, which can make homework feel more relevant.
