About Alyssa
Alyssa Crawford is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of experience. She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs and goals. Signing up for therapy can feel hard, and she recognizes the courage it takes to reach out.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand their close relationships. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize a person’s own pace and choices. Cognitive behavioral techniques are woven in to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors affecting mood and daily functioning.
Alyssa supports people facing relationship strain, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also helps with anger, addictions, parenting challenges, and career-related concerns. Additional areas she focuses on include attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems.
In sessions she listens first, then collaborates on practical steps. That might mean setting small goals, practicing new ways to respond under stress, or trying brief problem-solving exercises. The emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies that fit into everyday life.
She practices in Iowa and works in English. Her LCPC credential is listed as KS LCPC and MT LCPC. If you want to start, follow the site's Start Therapy process and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial appointment.
How Alyssa’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Alyssa blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people try new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead, allowing sessions to move at the client’s pace. Cognitive behavioral work identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Alyssa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on relationship patterns, skills for mood management, or short-term problem solving and then adjust as progress is made.

Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to suit remote formats, and Alyssa will help match the approach to practical needs and goals.
