About Alissa
Alissa Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship strain. She draws on 13 years of clinical experience to guide clients toward clearer coping skills and steadier moods. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical next steps.
She welcomes people who feel overwhelmed and want tools that fit everyday life. Alissa uses conversational, client-centered work to build trust and understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She mixes that with cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills also appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.
Alissa helps clients set small, realistic goals and practices skills between sessions. She explains strategies in plain language and checks in about what feels useful. Progress is measured by real-life changes like better sleep, fewer arguments, or calmer reactions.
Her background includes years of helping people from different life stages adjust to change, manage addiction concerns, and work through trauma and anger. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, attachment issues, body image concerns, and blended family challenges. The focus is on practical strategies clients can use right away.
Alissa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, individuals pick Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
Online approaches that focus on skills and goals
Alissa commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and partnering with the person to identify priorities and goals, which helps when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure where to start. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors to find concrete ways to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits that cause problems.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when stronger emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed. DBT supplies practical tools for calming intense feelings, improving communication, and handling high-stress moments without making things worse. Together these approaches give a mix of understanding, strategy, and skills practice that can be tailored to ADHD, anxiety, addiction, or relationship challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts as needs change over time. That way sessions stay relevant and useful rather than academic.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers written communication. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life.
