Alyssa “Petersen” Domel brings nine years of clinical experience to individuals, adolescents, and families navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship struggles. She focuses on practical, strengths-based work that helps clients move forward from depression, postpartum mood concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, and the everyday difficulties of parenting, career change, and self-esteem. Alyssa is trained to support those coping with substance use and dependence as well as personality disorders, and she offers targeted care for abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication challenges, infidelity, and other family problems.

She is a certified brainspotting therapist, which supports recovery from PTSD, complex PTSD, and other trauma-related adaptations, and she is also certified to work with individuals who follow Medicine Wheel traditions. Alyssa combines attachment-focused perspectives, client-centered listening, and evidence-informed strategies to tailor treatment to each person’s goals. Her credentials include LPC, LPC-MH, and LMHC, which are licensed professional counseling qualifications demonstrating specialized training in mental health care.

Alyssa approaches therapy as a collaborative process, walking alongside clients to address the obstacles that limit their sense of purpose and well-being. She welcomes inquiries by email or phone to begin the first steps, and if scheduling is tight she can refer to one of three colleagues on her team to ensure timely access to care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Alyssa “Petersen” Domel

Alyssa uses attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients improve intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation. Client-centered therapy is also central to her practice - it emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and guided to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors, which is effective for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alyssa partners with each person to identify priorities, consider what methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and collaborative.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, family, and geographic limits. Alyssa provides care via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level while maintaining consistent support from a licensed professional.
