About Alissa
Alissa Bohmann is a licensed professional counselor who aims to be a steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and meets clients where they are. Her style is warm and practical, with a focus on building hope and useful skills.
Parents looking for guidance around parenting and family concerns will find clear, down-to-earth support. She draws from several counseling approaches to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationships and patterns formed early in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. The Gottman Method is one tool she uses when relationship skills and communication need focused attention.
Alissa emphasizes strengths and resilience. She believes people already have resources to cope and that therapy often means organizing and growing those resources. Her work includes addressing trauma, addiction, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues tied to adoption and foster care.
Alissa has 11 years of clinical experience as an LPC in Wisconsin. That background includes specialized training related to adoption and foster care questions. She accepts clients from different places, and sessions are offered in English.
Her sessions can take different formats to fit busy lives. People may meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with the right therapist and schedule.
Therapeutic approaches that travel well online
Alissa commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change interaction habits. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practicing small, practical changes to feel better.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Then the therapist and client choose or combine methods that fit the situation and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit work into busy schedules, follow up between meetings, and access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to focus on skills, relationship work, and coping strategies without everyone needing to come into an office.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
