About Alissa
Alissa Bohmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, addictions, and life changes. She also lists family and trauma-related concerns, including attachment issues, adoption and foster care topics, and grief.
Alissa uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She often looks at how early family patterns affect current behavior and relationships. Sessions focus on understanding those patterns and trying different ways to respond to old dynamics.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at closeness and trust, client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead, and cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses elements of existential thinking and relational tools from the Gottman Method when relevant.
Alissa has particular experience with issues around adoption, foster care, and questions of identity that come from multicultural backgrounds. She names these areas as places she commonly addresses with clients who want to explore origins and belonging.
In sessions she aims to notice practical patterns and offer tools people can use between meetings. That might include practicing different ways of communicating, testing small behavior changes, or reframing thoughts that keep someone stuck.
People who choose to work with her are often looking to understand how family of origin patterns still shape everyday life and to try clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.
How Alissa’s approaches translate to online work
Alissa draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of closeness and trust formed early in life and helps people notice how those patterns appear now. Client-centered methods focus on listening closely and following the person's priorities so sessions reflect what matters most right now. CBT involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck and testing small changes to see what helps.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting over time rather than committing to one path from the start.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so meetings can be more consistent. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or find a quieter time around work.
