About Allison
Allison draws on client-centered work that puts the person's goals first. She also uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Emotionally-focused ideas and trauma-focused work shape how she supports people after difficult experiences.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Arts from Oral Roberts University and many years working with people who have faced depression, trauma, neglect, and abuse. She has experience helping people with ADHD, grief, parenting strain, sleep struggles, and relationship problems. She also offers work around forgiveness and caregiver stress.
Allison describes herself as someone who believes people know their lives best. She aims to make changes practical and achievable, not overwhelming. Sessions typically focus on clear steps, coping tools, and a patient pace that fits each person's situation.
Outside of clinical work, Allison’s life as a parent informs her empathy for families facing medical and learning challenges. That perspective shapes how she listens and how she helps people find everyday ways to cope and move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and experiences. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to shape each session, helping people identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety and trying small, practical behavior changes to feel better. CBT is often used for worry, low mood, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Allison will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That may mean starting with a client-centered conversation, adding CBT tools for coping, or using trauma-focused techniques when past harm affects daily life. The plan can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Many people choose online work because it helps fit sessions into busy days, makes follow-ups easier, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also reduce travel time and let people continue care from different locations, but check current format options to know what is available.
