About Alyssa

Alyssa Van Lopik is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She works with individuals dealing with relationship strain, addiction concerns, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Alyssa aims to create practical plans that fit each person’s day-to-day life.

She brings eight years of experience from varied settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitalization and partial and intensive outpatient programs. She has also managed a independent practice in the Austin, Texas area.

Background and approach

Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Michigan and a Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. Alyssa uses a client-centered approach, meaning the person sets the pace and goals of therapy. She draws from several methods to match techniques to each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

Sessions often focus on identifying strengths and building skills to handle distressing moments. She offers cognitive behavioral work to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and to replace unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication.

Alyssa also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when it fits a client’s healing process. Outside of clinical work she is a Registered Yoga Teacher and enjoys reading, cooking, and spending time with family. Those interests inform a calm, practical style in sessions and a focus on daily tools people can use between meetings.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alyssa integrates cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In online sessions this often looks like identifying a recurring thought pattern, testing it with small behavioral experiments, and tracking changes between meetings.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be practiced during video or phone sessions and reinforced through short exercises in text-based messaging or live chat between appointments.

EMDR is offered as one tool for processing traumatic memories when the person and therapist agree it fits their goals. Elements of EMDR work can be adapted for virtual formats and are introduced gradually with attention to pacing and comfort.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alyssa collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try and adjusts plans based on progress and preferences. The goal is to build a practical plan that feels doable and moves toward their stated goals.

Online formats provide flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging make short check-ins or homework support easier. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping the focus on useful tools and steady progress.
