Alyssa Ingle, LPC

Alyssa Ingle is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and questions about self esteem. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care challenges, blended family issues, body image concerns, and recovery after divorce or separation. Her style is warm and client-centered, with an emphasis on practical steps and steady progress.

She uses Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building simple tools that can be used between meetings. The work is collaborative and goal-oriented, with small, achievable steps to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Alyssa aims to create a space where people feel heard and able to try new approaches. She frames problems in ways that make next steps clearer. That may include improving communication, setting boundaries, or developing coping strategies for strong emotions.

With 18 years of experience, Alyssa brings long-term practice to complex situations such as co-morbidity, dissociation, domestic violence, and care for older adults. Her approach supports people working through control issues, codependency, commitment questions, and the effects of trauma.

She works in Missouri and conducts sessions in English. Outside of clinical work she enjoys country music, pickleball, museum visits, Monet, and shoe shopping.

Evidence-based approaches and online care options

Solution-Focused Therapy is a brief, goal-oriented approach that highlights what is already working and builds on strengths to reach specific goals. It works well for stress, relationship concerns, and adjusting after life changes. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combines practical skills for managing distressing memories and thoughts with active practice of new coping strategies, which can help with trauma reactions and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean trying a short solution-focused plan first, then adding trauma-focused techniques if deeper processing is needed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when life gets busy. Some formats work better for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera, while others allow more in-depth conversation. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to pick the session rhythm and setup that fit daily life best.
