Alissa Bell

Alissa Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She works with those dealing with relationship struggles, parenting concerns, addiction, trauma, and issues like self-esteem and anger. Alissa speaks English and draws on 13 years of clinical experience to guide practical steps forward.

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first and then helps people set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on what is most pressing, whether that is coping with a recent change, managing mood symptoms, or addressing communication problems.

Alissa uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. She may use client-centered methods to build a trusting space, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also appear in her work when they match a client’s goals.

She has a background in education and brings that practical, clear way of explaining ideas into therapy. That teaching experience helps her break down strategies into everyday steps that feel doable.

People who come to Alissa often want concrete tools, clearer thinking, and steadier coping during hard times. She encourages a paced, collaborative process so clients can try strategies and adjust them based on what works.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful space where people can talk through what matters most. It helps when someone needs steady support while facing life changes or stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT can offer step-by-step strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and mood shifts with practical homework between sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. When someone struggles with anger, mood instability, or overwhelming stress, DBT skills can help slow reactions and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and needs during early sessions and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about timing and session length to find an arrangement that works with everyday routines.
