About Allison

Allison Radice is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addictions, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and bipolar disorder. Allison works from a strengths-based stance, treating clients as experts in their own lives while offering support and practical skills.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to help people develop coping strategies for immediate problems. Sessions emphasize clear goals and workable steps rather than long theoretical discussions. Allison encourages clients to notice and build on what already works in their lives.

Clients who come for addiction concerns can expect attention to triggers, relapse prevention skills, and managing cravings in day-to-day life. For trauma and abuse the work typically includes stabilizing strategies first, then gradual processing at a pace the client chooses. When parenting stress is the focus sessions look at realistic routines, boundary-setting, and communication skills that fit family rhythms.

With bipolar disorder Allison concentrates on mood management practices, recognizing early warning signs, and coordinating care with prescribers when relevant. For LGBTQ-related issues she addresses coming out, identity stress, relationship concerns, and coping with minority stressors.

Allison asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. She uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.

Evidence-based approaches used in remote sessions

Allison uses a range of evidence-based techniques aimed at practical change. For addiction-related work she focuses on skills like trigger recognition, relapse prevention strategies, and concrete coping plans to manage cravings and high-risk situations. For trauma and abuse the emphasis is on stabilization and paced processing so clients build tolerance for difficult material before moving into deeper work. For mood concerns associated with bipolar disorder she uses mood-management practices and early warning sign recognition to support day-to-day stability.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current circumstances. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques based on what is helping most in real life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and making it easier to have shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions. Some formats use less bandwidth or no video, which can be useful for brief updates or when a quieter environment is needed. Licensed professionals adapt scheduling and session length to help integrate therapy into everyday routines.
