Allison Burrell, LPC

Allison Burrell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety along with relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, sleep problems, and career matters. Allison also supports people managing bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She speaks English and German. Allison builds sessions around open, nonjudgmental conversations. She encourages clients to name what matters most and to try small, practical steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness are among the approaches she uses to help people spot unhelpful thinking and practice different coping skills. Her background includes work with people on the autism spectrum and those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. That experience has shaped a careful, patient way of talking and pacing sessions so people can feel understood. She also helps with complex topics such as attachment, communication problems, grief from separation, and sexual concerns. Allison describes therapy as a partnership. She listens to a person’s goals and adjusts the methods she uses to fit their situation. Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are tools she uses to help people clarify values and rewrite self-stories that get in the way. Therapy with Allison tends to be practical and conversational. She supports clients as they try new skills, reflect on results, and make changes that fit their daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability.

How Allison’s approaches translate to online work

Allison commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change mood and stress. It is often useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and emotional ups and downs.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify why change matters to them and to build practical steps they feel ready to try. Together these methods help a person set small goals, notice what works, and adjust plans over time. Finding the right mix is a team process; the therapist listens to goals and preferences and tailors the approach collaboratively.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules warrant. It can also let people use tools like brief mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets between meetings to practice skills in real situations.
