About Alissa
Alissa Bohmann is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who focuses on parenting concerns among other areas. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to help people feel heard while they sort through stressful or painful moments. Her style is warm and practical, with room for both gentle challenge and problem-solving.
Alissa draws from several approaches to meet each person where they are. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present behavior and relationships.
Background and approach
Conversations often look at patterns in attachment and communication, then move toward concrete steps that people can try between sessions. She brings 11 years of counseling experience to sessions and has developed particular knowledge around adoption and foster care issues.
Alissa learned additional skills through the Center for Adoption Support and Education and uses that background when identity and belonging are part of the work. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy questions, addictions, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She also supports people facing caregiving strain, blended family challenges, and the emotional impacts of major health issues. Sessions emphasize strengths and resilience while also naming hard feelings and difficult patterns. Alissa helps clients set realistic goals, practice new ways of relating, and build routines that fit their daily lives.
The tone is collaborative and down-to-earth, focused on what will make a real difference now.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to identify patterns in how a person connects and to practice new ways of relating in daily life. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment; it helps people feel heard and choose their own next steps during phone or video conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches simple strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and practice new skills in real life.
