Background and approach
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build on existing strengths. In sessions she keeps the work concrete and collaborative. Clients help set the goals and decide what success looks like.
Alissa then helps identify small changes that make daily life easier and more manageable. She has long experience supporting people who experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect in childhood. That background informs how she approaches safety, pacing, and rebuilding a sense of control.
Alissa practices in Virginia and offers multiple online options. She aims to make therapy fit busy schedules by using brief, focused tools and clear steps people can practice between sessions.
How Alissa’s Approaches Work Online
Alissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that worsen stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical skills clients can use between sessions to change mood and behavior. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her work and centers on short-term goals and building on what already works for the client. Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try approaches, and adjust as needed to find what helps most. Alissa supports clients in testing techniques and tracking progress so the plan matches their needs and preferences. Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or busy family life.Questions people ask
