About Alissa

Alissa Bell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, addiction concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and related issues. Her focus includes practical skills for coping with life changes and managing strong emotions.

Alissa draws on client-centered methods to make sessions straightforward and collaborative. She mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful. This means she helps people notice thought patterns, practice new responses, and build steady coping tools they can use day to day.

Her background as a former high school English teacher shapes how she explains things. She tends to use clear, direct language and step-by-step guidance rather than jargon. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, trying skill-based exercises, and reviewing what worked between meetings.

Alissa also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy approaches depending on the concern. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe unhelpful stories they tell about themselves.

Clients can expect a practical, skills-oriented approach aimed at improving how they handle anger, stress, and relationship friction. She helps people identify patterns, set small goals, and practice new ways of responding so day-to-day life feels more manageable.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Alissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and skills to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods suit you best. That plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills between meetings in everyday settings. Licensed professionals adapt tools like CBT and DBT to work over remote sessions so clients can apply new strategies in real time.
