Alissa Bell

Alissa Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She speaks plain, direct language and focuses on building practical skills clients can use between sessions. Her background as a former high school English teacher shapes her calm, patient style and her interest in clear communication.

Alissa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where people lead the pace of work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy also appear in her approach when they fit a person’s goals.

Sessions tend to focus on real situations and skill building. People learn ways to reduce overwhelm, handle strong emotions, and improve communication. She pays attention to how relationships, parenting roles, and life stress affect mood and behavior.

Alissa has thirteen years of clinical experience as an LPC. She works with concerns that include depression, addiction, ADHD, trauma, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and family-related stress. Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image, blended family stress, and forgiveness work.

Her style is collaborative and practical. New clients start by sharing current struggles and goals. From there she helps develop a plan that fits daily life and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Alissa often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so they set the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when needed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with anger and overwhelm. These approaches can be combined and tailored to fit a person’s situation and goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, try strategies, and adjust the plan together based on what works. New ideas are tested in small steps so clients can see what helps before committing to a longer path.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily routines, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often use flexible approaches so therapy fits around work, parenting, and other commitments rather than requiring large schedule changes.
