About Alyssa Van Lopik
A native of Chicago, Alyssa completed an undergraduate degree in psychology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and earned a master of social work from Loyola University Chicago. She relocated to Austin, Texas in the summer of 2017 to continue her work in mental health and community practice.

Using a strengths-based, solutions-focused lens, Alyssa integrates multiple evidence-informed methods to help clients identify strengths and build practical plans for change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills such as mindfulness and emotion regulation; and on EMDR to support processing of traumatic experiences. Outside of clinical work, Alyssa is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and enjoys reading, cooking, spending time with family, and traveling.

Therapeutic approaches for online therapy
Alyssa commonly uses client-centered therapy, which places the person seeking support at the center of decision making and focuses on listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals. This approach is helpful for people wanting an individualized path and a collaborative partnership with their therapist.She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients explore links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to develop practical strategies for addressing patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is used to teach concrete skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation for those who want tools to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Alyssa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds. Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible options for scheduling, access across distances, and continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who can deliver these approaches in ways that suit each person’s life.
