About Alissa
Alissa Schneider is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings 10 years of clinical experience to her practice and focuses on practical help for everyday problems. Her work often centers on issues like focus and attention, parenting challenges, stress, and changes at school or work.
Alissa offers a faith-informed approach when requested and aims to make therapy straightforward and goal-oriented. She favors short-term work that targets immediate concerns and builds lasting skills. Sessions often emphasize clear strategies people can try between meetings.
In the room she uses solution-focused techniques to zero in on small, useful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and swap them for more helpful actions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and moving toward valued goals.
People commonly come to her for help with sleep disruption, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and decisions about career or school. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and changes in relationships or family roles. Alissa describes practical steps, homework tasks, and shorter-term plans to track progress.
Therapy begins with a brief assessment and a plan that matches a person’s goals. She encourages clear communication about expectations and adjusts the approach as needs change. Clients who prefer faith-informed counseling can request that perspective as part of sessions.
How these approaches guide online work
Alissa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make practical changes. ACT helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match what matters to them. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that increase stress or sleep problems and testing new behaviors to reduce those patterns.She often blends solution-focused techniques too, which means sessions aim to define clear next steps and measurable short-term goals. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; the therapist will work together with the client to decide what fits their needs, values, and pace rather than prescribing one single path.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people choose online work when they need to fit sessions into a busy day, prefer shorter check-ins, or want to avoid travel time. Discussing scheduling preferences at the start helps shape session length, frequency, and focus so therapy fits everyday life.
