Getting to know Alyssa Crawford
Welcome to counseling. My name is Alyssa Crawford, and I am a licensed professional counselor practicing in Iowa and Montana. I am dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate through relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
In my work I draw from a variety of evidenced-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation and coping skills, and Attachment and Trauma-informed approaches to explore and heal relational patterns.

Welcome to counseling. My name is Alyssa Crawford, and I am a licensed professional counselor practicing in Iowa and Montana. I am dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate through relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
In my work I draw from a variety of evidenced-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation and coping skills, and Attachment and Trauma-informed approaches to explore and heal relational patterns.
My approach centers on honoring each person’s unique experiences and strengths, helping clients recognize and tap into their own innate resilience, while nurturing life balance, insight, and personal growth. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can feel seen, heard, and valued.
Beyond my work in counseling, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring nature, reading, learning, and creative expressions.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life
