She trained at Cincinnati Christian University and holds LPC and LCMHC credentials. Allison blends person-centered listening with focused strategies to help people manage strong emotions and difficult life transitions. She often pairs therapy that examines patterns and history with tools to handle problems in the moment.

Sessions frequently include exploring how past attachments shape current reactions, practicing mindful ways to notice feelings, and testing small behavioral changes to reduce overwhelm. She also uses goal-oriented methods when someone wants specific skills for coping, communication, or relapse prevention. The work can be brief and solution-focused or longer term depending on what the person needs.

Allison has experience across a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, body image, ADHD, and caregiving strain. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and can safely try new ways of responding. Her approach centers on building understanding first, then moving toward change.

People looking to begin are invited to reflect on what they most want to change and take a first step. Allison emphasizes collaboration and clear, practical steps that fit into everyday life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what she hears so people can better recognize their feelings and decide what matters to change. This approach is helpful for anger, grief, and relationship strain where feeling heard matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical steps and exercises to test new behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or impulsive reactions. CBT is often used when someone wants concrete skills to manage strong emotions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on how attachment and emotion shape relationships and responses. It helps people notice patterns, name difficult feelings, and try new ways of connecting or reacting. This can be useful for intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She often combines listening with specific tools and checks in to adjust the plan as progress happens.
