I have worked with Allison for a couple of months now, and have really valued her insight through these really rough times. She always makes me feel heard and encourages me to think critically about my situation with her own fresh perspective. I always leave our sessions feeling more in control, and that I'm getting my power back.

Allison, thank you so much for the support you have provided me, and I can't say enough about your help.

More about Allison

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Greetings! My name is Allison and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the state of Georgia and a Licensed Independent Social Worker for the state of Ohio. I have obtained a bachelors degree in Social Work from Johnson C. Smith University, a masters degree in social work from Georgia State University and a masters degree in family therapy from Mercer University. I have over 6 years of clinical experience in providing trauma-informed therapy to individuals, couples, and families with a variety of psychiatric, relational, and situational needs and concerns which include grief and loss, issues with depression and anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma. I also have experience working with individuals and couples who are a part of the LGBTQ community.

My therapeutic style consists of meeting and approaching people where they are in their varying situations. I have an open-minded, non-judgmental approach to therapy in which I work to view issues and concerns from a non-pathologizing standpoint. I mainly center around systemic and strengthening based therapies that are drawn from Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral and Solution Focused Therapies.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, exercising, traveling, watching "reality television", and spending time with friends and family.

Life changes and transitions happen to all of us. Sometimes, we need someone to talk with to help better understand, process, and cope with things that are beyond our control. It is my hope that as you move through these changes and experiences, you will consider working with someone who is devoted to understanding what makes you uniquely YOU.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Allison has become a trusted friend and, often, the voice of impulse control, because there are times when that is an issue for me. In fact, lack of impulse control has gotten me into trouble more times than I can count. Allison's voice, and the passage of time, have contributed greatly to my ability to stop and think before acting.

Allison is a great listener. I’ve been able to share my thoughts while working on my major issues. She has helped me affirm myself in positive ways and helped me notice patterns in my life that have kept me stuck. I like that she allows me to talk through my issues and listens to my story without any judgement or bias. I’d recommend her to anyone especially if you mainly want to be heard and validated and don’t really need to be analyzed or diagnosed. I’ve really done a lot of work on my own and really just needed to be heard. She has been a great listener for someone like me. I’m very grateful to have found this platform.

Talking with Allison has really helped me open doors to understanding myself better. I can vent about my day and what is on my mind, and in my mess of words she will be able to find what set me off when I couldn’t find it myself. She tells me truthfully and honestly what she thinks would be best for my situation, and each time I have taken her advice it has helped tremendously. She’s direct yet personable. On days when I don’t get back with her within 24 hours she will send me a quick message asking how I’m doing and check in with me. It’s been really nice talking to someone who isn’t judgmental and is genuinely here with my best interest in mind.

I look forward to our sessions not only because I know I’ll feel better, but because she is just fun to talk to.
