I'm a licensed therapist in Wisconsin dedicated to supporting individuals through life's meaningful transitions and challenges. With extensive experience, I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and family conflicts. I'm particularly passionate about helping people cultivate self-love, improve communication, and find their sense of purpose.
My approach is grounded in compassion and genuine connection. I specialize in supporting women through unique life experiences—including pregnancy, childbirth, and body image concerns—as well as young adults facing workplace pressures, social anxiety, and isolation. I also work with clients processing guilt, shame, and forgiveness as they move toward healing.
I create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your authentic self and build the life you deserve. Whether you're working through family dynamics, relationship patterns, or personal growth, I'm here to support you with honesty, respect, and care. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you discover your strength and resilience.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Carissa Alt-Frankard. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I had to go through a few other counselors before I matched with Carissa- by far I feel like she has been the one who is actually, truly invested in what she is doing and cares about me as a client. Perhaps it is that her style matches my current needs, but I appreciate everything she does!

Carissa is seriously the best. She makes you feel heard and not judged at all and her techniques and approaches have been so helpful!
