About Alyssa
Alyssa “Petersen” Domel is a licensed professional counselor with nine years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life transitions. She works with adults who are trying to rebuild after loss, manage mood and attention differences, or handle difficult changes at work or home. Alyssa uses straightforward, practical steps so conversations feel clear and useful from the first session.
Her background includes training in several approaches that guide how she works.
Background and approach
She draws on the Gottman Method for relationship communication and Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns that repeat across relationships. Alyssa also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when people need concrete tools for mood, anxiety, or impulsive behaviors. Alyssa holds LPC, LPC-MH, and LMHC credentials and practices in South Dakota.
She has spent years supporting people facing substance use concerns, depression, trauma responses, and parenting stress. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily life. Her style is collaborative and practical.
She helps clients set small goals and practices new ways of responding between sessions. People who want clear strategies, a calm presence, and step-by-step progress tend to find this approach useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Scheduling is arranged after the initial match so work can start at a time that fits each person.

Online support
Using evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Alyssa integrates the Gottman Method into her work to help improve communication and reduce harmful interaction patterns between partners. This approach focuses on real-time conversation skills and small changes that can ease conflict and strengthen connection.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape reactions today. This helps people understand why they respond strongly in certain situations and learn new ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when clients need clear, practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as anxiety or sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Alyssa will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on communication skills, attachment patterns, or CBT skill work and then adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work on communication skills, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady progress.
