About Alissa
Alissa Bohmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, ADHD, and the challenges that come with life transitions. She also lists work related to family matters and parenting. Her practice notes adoption and foster care questions as areas she understands and addresses.
Alissa draws from several established approaches to counseling rather than following a single method. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present behavior and relationships. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, identify strengths, and develop new ways of coping. Expect practical conversation and reflective tasks rather than abstract theory alone.
She has particular familiarity with concerns tied to adoption, foster care, and multicultural identity. That background shows up when clients are sorting questions of belonging, roots, and identity. Alissa aims to help people look at where their reactions come from and what they want to try next.
Her work uses elements from attachment-based approaches, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, existential thinking, and relationship-focused methods. She blends these to match what a person needs in the moment. Sessions can include talking through recent problems, practicing skills, and considering deeper life questions.
Alissa accepts international clients and conducts work in English. If someone is unsure whether she is the right fit, she asks them to start with a short match questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how things go.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current bonds. In online sessions this can mean talking through patterns with partners or family members and identifying ways to feel more connected and understood. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and pacing. It involves active listening, open questions, and supporting people to name their goals and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions often include practicing specific skills, short exercises between meetings, and step-by-step planning to manage anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means plans can shift as issues change or new priorities emerge.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people try therapy from wherever they are, then adjust frequency and focus as progress is made.
