Allison combines client-centered care with goal-oriented methods to help people manage current problems and move forward.
Allison trained in clinical social work at the University of Missouri Columbia and holds the LCSW credential.

She has supported clients through trauma related to medical events, situational depression, and suicidal thoughts.

In sessions Allison uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She aims to combine listening with practical tools such as coping strategies, short-term goal setting, and problem-solving techniques.
Allison emphasizes starting where the client is and moving at a comfortable pace. She works with people on parenting stress, career transitions, addictions, anger, self-esteem, ADHD-related issues, and bereavement. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Allison’s approaches translate to remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small steps toward what matters. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clients find their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will discuss these methods with the client and jointly decide what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting the plan as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care during illness or caregiving demands, to combine talk-based strategies with homework, and to maintain regular progress without changing daily routines.
