About Alissa
Alissa Bohmann is a licensed professional counselor with 11 years of practice who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, offering a steady presence while helping clients find practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and respectful, with gentle challenge when growth requires it. Alissa draws from multiple approaches to match what each person needs.
She commonly uses the Gottman Method ideas for relationship patterns, attachment-based thinking for understanding how early bonds shape reactions, and cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on clear goals, simple skills, and noticing small changes that matter.
Her work also includes support around adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and multicultural identity questions. Those topics often bring big questions about belonging and identity, and she offers a calm space to talk those through.
She emphasizes strengths and resilience while acknowledging how painful some experiences can be. Alissa provides care for people dealing with addiction, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life transitions.
Her background includes targeted training through the Center for Adoption Support and Education, used to inform sensitive, respectful work. Clients can expect practical tools, emotional validation, and collaborative planning.
The approach is individualized rather than fixed, and progress comes from steady effort and realistic steps forward.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alissa often blends Gottman Method ideas with attachment-based and client-centered work. The Gottman approach focuses on identifying interaction patterns and building healthier ways to communicate, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds affect current reactions and can help people understand emotional triggers and form more stable connections. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving clients space to lead the work while the therapist reflects and supports their strengths.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then adapt methods to fit the problem at hand rather than sticking rigidly to one model. Together they set practical goals and try techniques that feel useful in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone calls are a good option when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit brief check-ins or when scheduling needs are tight. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain consistent progress over time.
