Dr. Alisa Bash brings an integrative mind-body-spirit perspective to therapy, combining traditional clinical training with complementary practices to support lasting change. She is a licensed LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - practicing in California with 18 years of professional experience. In addition to her clinical work, she is a certified kundalini yoga instructor and a sound healer, and she weaves elements of holistic wellness into her therapeutic approach.

Her practice focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and related challenges such as attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, and blended family dynamics. She also works with issues including body image, chronic pain or illness, codependency, dissociation, and recovery after separation or divorce. Dr. Bash emphasizes that each person is the expert of their own story and aims to build on existing strengths to address obstacles and foster greater balance and motivation.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Alisa Bash integrates evidence-based methods to address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, addictions, and self-esteem difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain addictive or avoidant responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, which can help reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and attachment patterns influence current relationships and self-concept, supporting insight and deeper change in areas like abandonment, attachment issues, and relational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Bash works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care from home, and use different communication styles as needed to support progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
