About Alissa

Alissa Bell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, addiction, trauma, parenting concerns, and related struggles.

Background and approach

She aims to help clients build practical coping skills, increase self-esteem, and navigate life changes with greater confidence. Her background as a former high school English teacher informs a collaborative, communicative style that values clear goals and thoughtful reflection.

Alissa integrates evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical approaches, using motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when helpful. She emphasizes helping clients identify patterns, develop healthier responses to strong emotions, and strengthen problem-solving tools.

Sessions may focus on emotional regulation, managing anxiety, addressing substance-related difficulties, or exploring attachment and family dynamics. Prospective clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented approach that balances practical skill building with attention to personal stories and values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, often through structured exercises and practical strategies. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and respect for each persons perspective to strengthen self-awareness and personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. Alissa works with clients to clarify goals, trial different techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful for the individuals needs and preferences, ensuring the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within Georgia, and they can be matched to a clients comfort level and day-to-day routine.
