About Allison
Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She offers compassionate, practical care for people facing anxiety and related stressors. Allison speaks English and German and brings three years of clinical experience to her sessions.
She uses clear, down-to-earth methods to help people manage worry, sleep problems, and anger. Allison supports work on relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, and career stress. She also helps people who live with ADHD, bipolar challenges, or who are coping with big life changes.
Background and approach
Allison has worked with people affected by autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, communication problems, and control issues. Her background includes helping those navigating gender dysphoria, HIV and AIDS, immigration-related stress, and guilt or shame.
Therapeutic tools she draws on include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Jungian ideas, and Existential Therapy. In sessions she focuses on practical steps, exploring meaning, and noticing unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. Conversations are direct but warm, aimed at small changes that add up.
Allison encourages a collaborative process where goals are set together. She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexible care. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
How Allison’s approaches translate to online therapy
Allison commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep anxiety and stress going, then testing and changing those patterns with doable steps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Allison will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and which methods feel useful. She adapts techniques so they fit someone’s daily life and checks in regularly to see what’s helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time, while phone sessions can suit lower bandwidth or a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are good for short, ongoing support and for people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules.
