About Alissa
She works with teens, pre-teens, and adults and often helps with attention and focus difficulties that affect school or work. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career transitions, and common mood concerns like anxiety and depression. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and measurable progress.
Alissa favors a solution-focused style that concentrates on what can change now. She combines that with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when useful. This mix is meant to produce short-term gains that build into longer-term shifts.
In sessions she outlines small, practical steps and checks in on how those steps worked. She invites clients to set concrete goals, practice new skills between meetings, and adjust the plan as needed. Many clients come for brief work to solve a specific problem.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, but also respectful of each persons values, including faith. Alissa aims to help people make changes that fit their real life, not an idealized plan. If you want clear direction and an emphasis on action, she can help you map next steps.
How ACT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts. It can help when life changes make decisions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress that interfere with daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and what is already working, aiming for quick, practical changes. This approach suits people who want targeted, short-term support for a specific issue.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit. If something isn't helping, the plan is adjusted together so sessions stay useful.
