About Alissa
Alissa Bohmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to make the first steps toward help feel steady and understandable. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical support for stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Her style is warm and direct, offering both encouragement and gentle challenge as needed.
Alissa draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She pays attention to how earlier relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice what keeps them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, strengthening coping skills, and exploring meaningful values and choices. Her work includes attention to adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, and multicultural identity issues. She combines that focus with tools for managing mood, anger, and attention challenges.
Over time she helps people build habits that support daily functioning and relationships. Alissa brings 11 years of clinical experience as an LPC in Wisconsin. She uses Client-Centered methods to follow each person's lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Attachment-Based ideas when relationships are central to the concern.
She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relational patterns and existential perspectives when questions of meaning arise. She offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their life. International clients who speak English are supported.
Getting started means using the platform's matching steps to connect, then scheduling sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Alissa commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's concerns, which helps build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and introduces concrete strategies to change what isn’t working, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and what feels comfortable. Together you can try methods and adjust the plan as you go, so the work fits your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for more in-depth conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter interaction fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
