About Alisa
Dr. Alisa Bash offers psychotherapy for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression.
Background and approach
She approaches care with attention to mind, body, and spirit, inviting clients to build on their existing strengths as they work toward better balance and greater wellbeing. Dr.
Bash frames therapy as a collaborative process that respects each person as the expert on their own life. She brings 18 years of clinical experience as a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and integrates multiple evidence-informed methods in her work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are blended with psychodynamic and solution-focused elements to address patterns, coping strategies, and practical steps for change. Her background also includes training in kundalini yoga instruction and sound healing, which inform a holistic orientation without replacing core therapeutic methods.
Clients who seek support for concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency, chronic illness and pain, dissociation, blended family challenges, and separation or divorce may find her approach relevant. Dr.
Bash emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based partnership to help clients clarify goals and take manageable steps forward.
Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Dr. Bash commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies for reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy is another central element she employs, teaching attention and awareness skills that can reduce reactivity and support coping with chronic pain, difficult emotions, and compulsive behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions, then adapt methods so they fit each client’s needs and daily life. Clients and therapist work together to try techniques, evaluate progress, and adjust focus over time.
Online therapy with Dr. Bash is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend regularly around work or caregiving schedules and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. The variety of formats supports continuity of care and practical access while tailoring communication styles to what helps the client most.
