Dr. Alisa Bash, LMFT

Dr. Alisa Bash is a licensed LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - practicing in California with 18 years of professional experience. She blends a mind-body-spirit perspective into her therapeutic work, combining traditional talk therapy with complementary practices shaped by her background as a certified kundalini yoga instructor and sound healer.

Her practice focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, depression, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence. She also addresses more specific issues including abandonment and attachment difficulties, avoidant or dependent personality features, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, and the impacts of divorce or separation.

Dr. Bash emphasizes clients as the experts of their own stories, building on individual strengths to support meaningful change. Her approach supports people seeking balance, renewed motivation, and deeper well-being. She acknowledges that beginning therapy can take courage and affirms clients for taking that first step toward growth and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Alisa Bash integrates evidence-based methods into online therapy to meet a range of needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills for calming the body and mind, which can support coping with anxiety, chronic pain, and emotional reactivity. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviors, offering insight for attachment issues, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Alisa Bash works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life context, then tailors therapeutic strategies so clients feel supported and involved in planning their care.

Online therapy with Dr. Bash is offered through flexible channels including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, provide access for those who cannot attend in person, and allow clients to engage in ways that feel most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
