Therapy with me is a mix of insight + strategy: we name the pattern, build the tools, and practice what works—so your healing shows up in real life, not just in session. I’m Alyiah Brown, LPC, and I provide therapy that is warm, direct, and deeply practical. My approach is unique because I blend evidence-based counseling with a criminology + psychology-informed lens—the study of why people do what they do. That means we don’t just talk about what happened; we look at the behavior patterns, relationship dynamics, environments, and roles that keep repeating in your life (the fixer, the peacekeeper, the one who carries everything). Clients often tell me I “connect the dots” quickly—not by guessing, but through targeted questions, pattern recognition, and a systems-focused perspective that helps us get to the root. Clinically, I use a trauma-informed, skills-based approach grounded in CBT, ACT-informed strategies, DBT-informed skills (emotion regulation, distress tolerance, boundaries), and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together we’ll build a clear plan to reduce anxiety and overthinking, stabilize mood, strengthen boundaries, and improve communication—so you feel more in control internally and more confident externally. I also take a holistic, humanistic approach because you’re a whole person—not a diagnosis. When appropriate, I have experience coordinating with medical providers to support the full picture (sleep, hormones, medication factors, stress physiology, and how the body holds emotional strain). And if faith/spirituality matters to you, I can integrate it in a way that’s respectful, empowering, and clinically grounded—never forced, always aligned with your values. Clients often come to me for support with: • Anxiety, chronic stress, overthinking, and perfectionism • Depression, emotional exhaustion, and burnout • Boundaries, people-pleasing, and self-worth • Relationship conflict, family dynamics, and communication patterns • Life transitions and identity shifts • Trauma-informed support and nervous system regulation If you’re ready for therapy that feels human, structured, and effective, I’d love to support you.

As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional circumstances. My practice uses a holistic approach that helps to address challenges such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. This includes therapeutic strategies and problem solving while also exploring the mind-body connection and building foundations for meaning. My approach is collaborative and focused on helping clients develop self-acceptance, improve communication, overcome anxiety and rediscover their life purpose. The skills I find most helpful were developed through my own experience with depression and burn out. My process with holism helped me see that there is a life beyond coping that offers more options toward resilience, growth, and purposeful connection. In our work together, I prioritize creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop coping skills, and move towards a more fulfilling life. My goal is to empower you to understand yourself more deeply and recognize your wholeness. From there it is easier to make positive, sustainable changes that reflect the person you really are.

Find a therapist near you in Groton, Connecticut

Finding a therapist near you in Groton, Connecticut starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Connecticut is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Connecticut, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Connecticut, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Connecticut

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Connecticut, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

Finding a therapist that accepts insurance in Connecticut

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session.
