About Alissa

Alissa Bohmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and parenting concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy questions, and life changes such as divorce or career shifts.

Alissa draws from several counseling approaches instead of using just one method. She pays attention to how past relationships shape current behavior and helps people identify practical steps they can try between sessions. Conversations are direct but not rushed; the focus is on noticing patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what helps.

Her background includes work around adoption and foster care issues and multicultural identity. That experience informs how she talks about attachment, belonging, and questions of origin. She describes her style as strengths-based, looking for resilient responses even when situations feel overwhelming.

Sessions mix reflection about past experiences with present-day problem solving. She will listen for recurring relationship patterns and practical barriers at home. When appropriate she brings in techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and relational methods to address communication and coping skills.

People who choose Alissa often want a therapist who is straightforward, respectful of time, and willing to challenge unhelpful habits while noticing what already works. If those priorities match yours, the next step is to confirm session options and schedule an initial meeting.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches for relationship and parenting concerns online

Alissa uses Attachment-Based ideas to notice how early relationships affect current behavior. This approach looks at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships and can help when attachment issues affect parenting or adult partnerships.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers what the person brings to sessions. That means the therapist listens closely and helps people name their priorities, values, and goals before choosing strategies.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood, and unhelpful thinking. CBT techniques can help with stress, coping during life changes, and building small habits that improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alissa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She often combines ideas so the plan addresses both relationship patterns and practical skills.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid commute time so therapy fits around parenting and work. Ask about available session options when you schedule the first meeting.
