About Allison

Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBTQ matters, anger, anxiety, and stress. Allison also supports those coping with neurodiversity and developmental disabilities.

Her approach mixes practical tools and reflective work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are part of sessions when clients want ways to manage intense feelings in the moment. Allison also draws on existential and Jungian ideas to look at meaning, identity, and recurring life patterns.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try small experiments between sessions, and reflect on how past patterns show up now. She pays attention to communication skills, boundary-setting, and managing anger or impulsivity.

Allison has experience with intimacy-related concerns and with people navigating gender and sexual identity questions. She has worked with clients dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, and codependency patterns. Her background includes supporting people with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities.

She speaks English and German. For next steps, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How Allison’s approaches translate to online work

Allison often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and action-oriented, useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep repeating. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach brief attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelming feelings and improve sleep and focus. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She frames choices together, adjusts over time, and checks in about what is helping and what isn’t. The exact online session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments. They may allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, reduce travel time, and let people join from a quieter setting. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness activities to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between appointments.
