Andrea Alli, LCMHC

Andrea Alli is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Vermont. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, grief, and depression. Andrea also supports those dealing with relationship strain, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Andrea takes a respectful, compassionate approach in sessions. She starts by identifying a person’s strengths and what matters most to them. From there she and the client set manageable goals and practical steps to try between meetings.

Her practice draws on several approaches that focus on thoughts, body responses, and lived experience. Techniques include client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, somatic work that attends to bodily signals, trauma-focused strategies, and EMDR for processing disturbing memories.

Andrea has ten years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns. She emphasizes clear communication and a steady pace so people feel understood and supported as they work through difficult moments.

People who prefer straightforward conversation and practical tools often find her style helpful. She encourages collaboration, so clients help shape the plan. To begin, she asks a few simple questions to match needs and availability before scheduling sessions.

Approaches that address thoughts, body reactions, and memories

Andrea draws on client-centered therapy to build a trusting working relationship. That approach emphasizes listening, understanding a person’s perspective, and letting the client guide the pace and goals of treatment.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. EMDR can be helpful for people who notice strong reactions to past events that interfere with daily life.

Mindfulness therapy is another common part of her work, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping. These practices aim to make habitual thoughts and reactions easier to notice and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on feedback and what is helpful in practice.
