About Alyssa

Alyssa Van Lopik is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people in Texas manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship struggles. She offers a calm, direct style that focuses on practical steps and real-life problems. Parents reading this will find short, clear explanations and a focus on what to do next rather than jargon.

She has eight years of experience in a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, partial and intensive outpatient programs, and independent practice work in Austin.

Background and approach

That background means she understands both crisis care and longer-term therapy. She draws on what works from different approaches rather than sticking to a single method. Alyssa uses a client-centered, strengths-based approach that treats each person as the expert on their own life.

She helps people set clear goals, identify strengths, and build step-by-step plans to reach those goals. Sessions often focus on skills and strategies that can be practiced between meetings. Her work includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotion.

She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma processing is appropriate and Motivational Interviewing to support behavior change. Outside of therapy, she practices yoga as a Registered Yoga Teacher and enjoys reading, cooking, and travel. Her approach is practical and collaborative, aimed at helping people regain stability and move toward the life they want.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy places the person’s goals and lived experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps shape goals while following the client’s lead to determine pace and focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on current concerns, goals, and what feels manageable. That might mean blending CBT skill practice with DBT skills training, or adding trauma-focused work when past events are getting in the way of daily life.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, school, or family responsibilities.
