About Alissa
Alissa Bohmann is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 11 years of clinical experience based in Wisconsin. She works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and related issues listed in her profile. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related problems, grief, parenting concerns, anger, career difficulties, ADHD, and other areas noted by clients.
Alissa uses an eclectic mix of therapy approaches. She notices how past experiences shape present behavior and conversations focus on those patterns. Sessions emphasize strengths people already have and practical steps to manage day-to-day life. The tone is direct and steady, with room for both challenging questions and solid support.
She has a particular interest in adoption and foster care matters and multicultural identity questions. These topics often bring up deep questions about belonging and origin, and she brings focused attention to them while respecting each person's story. Her background includes specialized training through the Center for Adoption Support and Education.
Alissa combines several clinical methods to suit different concerns. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at connection and trust, client-centered techniques to center the person's experience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to target thoughts and behaviors, existential ideas to tackle meaning, and the Gottman Method for relationship work. Those approaches show up flexibly depending on the issue at hand.
Her style aims to be practical. Conversations move between exploring how the past influences current struggles and building concrete coping strategies. People who prefer clear, steady guidance alongside direct conversation often find this way of working useful.
Approaches used online and how they help
Alissa often draws on attachment-based work and client-centered methods. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of connection and trust, which can help when anxiety or relationship issues come from past bonds. Client-centered methods prioritize the person's experience and pace, letting sessions follow what feels most important in the moment.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT gives clear tools for reducing anxious reactions and building new habits. These approaches are described and used collaboratively so the therapist and client decide together what fits best for the presenting concerns and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That means methods may shift over several sessions as progress and priorities become clearer.
The biography does not specify which online session formats she offers, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose video or audio based on comfort or bandwidth. Discussing these practical choices ahead of the first appointment helps match format to what will work in everyday life.
