About Allison
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 10 years of experience, Allison Kent helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She previously worked for many years in Philadelphia in a community behavioral health outpatient setting. Allison speaks English and provides care within Pennsylvania.
Allison uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus conversations on the person's goals and perspective. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want to increase motivation for change.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Allison adapts questions and exercises to what each person brings to the room. She aims to help people clarify what matters to them and practice manageable steps between meetings.
Her background in community behavioral health means she has worked with a range of concerns in an outpatient setting. That experience shaped a practical style that balances listening with straightforward skill-building.

How Allison’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's concerns and goals. In practice this means the therapist listens to what matters most, reflects what she hears, and uses that input to shape sessions. This approach helps people who want a respectful, person-led way to address stress or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions include identifying thought patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing skills that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT is useful for people wanting concrete strategies to manage mood and stress.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Allison will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then recommend a collaborative plan. The plan can change over time based on progress and feedback.
The therapist’s specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use audio-only meetings when video would require more bandwidth or more on-camera time than they prefer.
