Alyssa Jackler, MSW, LSW
Licensed Social Worker
Alyssa Jackler is a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (C-DBT) professional who is passionate about creating a supportive, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment for her clients. She takes a collaborative and individualized approach to therapy, helping clients better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, develop effective coping skills, and work toward meaningful personal growth.
Alyssa earned both her Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work through the Advanced Standing Program at Ramapo College of New Jersey, where she was recognized on the Dean’s List throughout her education and received an award for outstanding leadership. She later completed specialized certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, further strengthening her ability to help clients develop skills related to emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal relationships.
Alyssa utilizes an integrative therapeutic approach that incorporates person-centered therapy, strengths-based therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She believes that therapy should provide clients with a safe space to explore their experiences while also developing practical tools that can be applied to challenges outside of the therapy room.
Her clinical experience includes providing individual and group therapy to individuals from diverse backgrounds, including emerging adults and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Alyssa has also provided crisis counseling and therapeutic support related to grief and loss, work-related stress, and other difficult life experiences. Her background has strengthened her commitment to providing inclusive and affirming care that respects each client’s identity, experiences, and individual needs.
Alyssa has been with Monarch Counseling Center since March 2025, initially joining the practice in an administrative role before transitioning into her role as a psychotherapist in May 2025. This experience has provided her with a unique understanding of both the clinical and administrative aspects of behavioral health care. As a clinician at Monarch, she provides individual therapy and has also facilitated a process group supporting emerging adults.
Alyssa is committed to helping clients navigate emotional challenges, life transitions, relationships, identity, stress, and personal growth. Through warmth, collaboration, and evidence-based interventions, she strives to help clients strengthen self-awareness, build confidence, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful changes in their lives.
