About Alissa
Her practice focuses on treating stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression, while also addressing related issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication difficulties, and life purpose. She takes a holistic approach that emphasizes the connection between mind and body and uses evidence-informed models to tailor treatment to each person's needs.
Alissa integrates Mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered techniques to help clients build skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward valued goals. As a marriage and family therapist she brings attention to relational patterns and communication alongside individual symptoms. In her free time she prioritizes self-care by spending time with family, enjoying outdoor activities, playing with her two labs, traveling, and reading. She welcomes the opportunity to walk alongside clients as they begin the next chapter of their lives.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Alissa Lewis draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT is useful for people coping with anxiety, stress, and life transitions who want to build a values-driven life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and problems with mood and daily functioning. Mindfulness-based techniques are woven into sessions to strengthen awareness of the present moment and to support emotion regulation, which can help with trauma-related symptoms, chronic stress, and habitual reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alissa works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains practical and relevant. The aim is to create a plan that feels both effective and approachable for the individual or family.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient settings. Many people find that remote sessions provide continuity of care and practical tools that translate into daily life.
