Practitioner record · Checked 7 Nov 2026
Alyiah Brown has been in practice 8 years and is licensed in Connecticut. Alyiah lists stress, Anxiety, addictions and self esteem among 30 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Alyiah's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Alyiah works with
Alyiah lists 5 specialisms and 25 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Alyiah chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Alyiah's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
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.

03 · What happens next
Alyiah practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Alyiah's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Alyiah at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Alyiah is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Alyiah.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Alyiah actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Alyiah's - Alyiah has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
