Alissa Bell

Alissa Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, addiction concerns, ADHD, and body image or self-esteem struggles.

Alissa brings a straightforward, conversational style to sessions. She draws on practical tools and listening to help people manage strong emotions and day-to-day challenges. Conversations are focused on what a person needs now and what can change in small, realistic steps.

Her background includes years in education before moving into counseling, which shaped her ability to explain ideas simply and clearly. She combines that with counseling skills to help clients build coping strategies and healthier patterns over time.

Alissa uses several therapeutic approaches to match different needs, including client-centered work that emphasizes the person’s own goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior strategies for managing intense emotions. She also brings motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools when exploring change and personal stories.

Sessions typically focus on skills people can try between meetings and on making plans that fit real life. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them set goals and make decisions that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress or low mood and uses straightforward exercises to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on how things are going.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and cut down on travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and for using tools and exercises during or between meetings to practice new skills in everyday moments. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well over distance when a format fits the client’s needs.
