Alyssa Sydor , LMHC

Alyssa Sydor is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, eating concerns, low self-esteem, career struggles, and depression. She has 15 years of experience and works from New York. Her manner is straightforward and supportive for people ready to make changes.

Alyssa focuses on building an open space where clients can talk through worries without judgment. She listens for patterns that keep problems cycling and helps clients try out small changes to break those cycles. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.

Her approach blends practical skills and reflective work. That means teaching tools for anxiety and mood, while also looking at beliefs about the self and relationships. She uses methods that encourage moment-to-moment awareness and clearer decision-making.

Alyssa has a particular interest in body image and eating-related issues, as well as the effects of attachment and abandonment on self-worth. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and substance concerns. Her goal is to help clients gain manageable tools and clearer coping choices.

People who value direct guidance and gentle reflection tend to do well with her style. She offers appointment times early in the morning, evenings, and on weekends to fit busy schedules. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session that fits both parties.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Alyssa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy builds moment-to-moment awareness to help people notice stress reactions and choose different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alyssa will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what you prefer, then suggest ways of working that match those needs. She checks in regularly and adapts strategies based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay consistent. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging lets clients send updates, try brief exercises, or get support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while using practical tools from CBT and mindfulness in everyday life.
