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, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, and ADHD. She also addresses trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, bipolar presentations, and compassion fatigue.
Alissa uses a mix of methods rather than one rigid model. She believes earlier experiences shape how people act now, and she helps clients notice those patterns. Sessions focus on practical steps and building on strengths already present.
Her work includes attention to adoption and foster care issues and multicultural identity concerns. Those topics often touch on core identity questions such as where someone feels they belong. She has completed specialized training through the Center for Adoption Support and Education and brings that experience into conversations when relevant.
In conversation she balances support with gentle challenge. Clients can expect direct talk about patterns, experiments to try between sessions, and reflection on what helps in daily life. She aims to help people develop tools they can use outside the therapy hour.
Alissa also draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered ways of listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential thinking, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationships are part of the focus. She works with a broad set of concerns like abandonment, codependency, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and coping with loss or illness.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alissa often draws from attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral approaches. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current responses and helps people notice patterns in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thought and behavior patterns into concrete steps and offers skills to change unhelpful responses, which can be useful for anger and anxiety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit the person. Adjustments happen over time based on what proves useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets a therapist use CBT worksheets, attachment-focused conversation, and relationship-focused tools in real time, helping clients apply strategies directly to daily life.
