About Alissa
Alissa Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and codependency. She also helps with parenting concerns, caregiver stress, ADHD, and trauma and abuse.
Alissa draws on straightforward, practical methods in session. She listens first, then helps people identify patterns that sap energy. Sessions often focus on setting boundaries, managing strong emotions, and carving out time for personal priorities. She uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to structure that work.
Her background as a former high school English teacher shaped how she communicates. She uses clear language and concrete steps rather than clinical jargon. That means practicing skills together in session and assigning small, doable tasks between meetings to build confidence.
Clients looking for help with relationship problems, codependency patterns, or living with another person's substance use will find practical tools for saying no and rebuilding limits. For mood concerns like depression or bipolar symptoms she blends problem-focused strategies with emotion regulation skills. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy inform conversations about personal values and next steps.
Alissa works in Georgia and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats through the service's booking flow. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own goals. It helps when someone needs to clarify values, feel heard, and decide what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with intense reactions and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alissa will collaborate to pick methods that fit a person’s goals, strengths, and comfort level. That may mean trying a skills-based format for a few sessions or focusing on story-based work to reframe long-standing patterns like people-pleasing and codependency.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone choose sessions that match their daily schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools to remote sessions so people practice new skills between meetings and bring real-life examples back to therapy.
