About Alissa
Alissa Bohmann, LPC, focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life transitions. She speaks plainly and creates space for clients to talk about what matters most. Her approach centers on strengths and practical steps rather than long lectures.
Alissa draws from several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and helps people notice patterns that feel stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through difficult memories, testing new ways of responding, and practicing skills between meetings. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care issues and multicultural identity questions, which often raise deep concerns about belonging and origin. Those topics are handled with attention to personal history and identity.
She uses that experience to help people untangle complex family-related feelings. Alissa has practiced for 11 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin. She blends Attachment-Based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavior techniques to make sessions both thoughtful and actionable.
The therapy aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who choose her often want a warm, respectful therapist who can also challenge them when needed. Meetings are collaborative; goals are set together and adjusted over time.
Alissa also works with issues such as ADHD, addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alissa often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and letting clients guide the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports growth. This approach helps people clarify goals and feel heard even when meeting remotely. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence; it looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate to others, which can reduce recurring conflict or loneliness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alissa collaborates with each person to decide what methods fit their needs and goals. She will check in as therapy progresses and adjust techniques so sessions stay useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can serve as brief check-ins, homework support, or a way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and practice new skills between meetings.
