About Alissa

Alissa Schneider is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who has practiced for 10 years in Florida. She offers faith-informed support and practical guidance for parents and adults facing everyday pressures. Her work often focuses on parenting challenges and managing attention or focus difficulties that affect school or work.

She also helps people navigate stress, career shifts, and major life changes. Her style is solution-focused and goal-oriented. Sessions are usually short-term and directed toward clear steps clients can use right away.

Background and approach

She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful habits and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and build flexibility. Solution-focused methods help set small, achievable goals so progress is visible fast. In a typical session she listens to what is most pressing and helps map concrete next steps.

This might include communication strategies for parenting, ways to manage attention at work or school, or planning for a career transition. She blends practical coaching with therapeutic tools to support real-world change. Alissa brings a calm, direct approach that aims to make therapy useful from the first meetings.

She works with people who prefer a faith-informed perspective while keeping sessions focused on practical results. Her background means she can move between short-term problem solving and deeper work when needed. Sessions are offered via several online formats to fit busy schedules.

People living in Florida will find her license is LMHC, FL MH16221.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making values-based changes in parenting or career decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns. This approach is helpful for managing worry, sleep issues, attention-related challenges, and mood concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and quick steps that build momentum. It suits people who want short-term work and visible progress on specific problems like communication or daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. Sessions may mix techniques to suit what the client needs in the moment.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on family and parenting concerns or personal goals. Video calls let conversations feel most like in-person sessions, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options for brief check-ins or when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit consistent therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
