About Allison
Allison Chapple is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 15 years of experience based in North Carolina. She works with adolescents, young adults, and adults under 50. Her approach is down-to-earth and warm, and she aims to build a trusting relationship that helps people feel heard and understood.
Allison focuses on anxiety and stress alongside depression, eating and body image concerns, and life transitions. She also helps with substance-related struggles, parenting stress, intimacy and relationship questions, and issues that often follow major life changes like separation or new parenthood.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in community mental health, substance abuse treatment, independent practice, and a pediatric medical clinic. Her training included a 900-hour graduate internship at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and she continues to pursue ongoing education in relevant areas.
Allison describes her counseling style as casual and compassionate, drawing on the person-centered ideas of Carl Rogers to create a respectful, accepting space. In sessions she uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices. She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, develop manageable skills, and take steps that match their values.
People seeking support can expect straightforward, collaborative sessions that focus on small, usable changes. Allison typically blends short-term problem solving with attention to emotional and behavioral patterns that matter most to each person.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps that reflect those values. It helps with anxiety, stress, and times when avoidance gets in the way of living the life someone wants.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns common in anxiety, mood problems, and social worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Allison will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try practical techniques and adjust as needed. The process is collaborative, so clients help shape which methods are used and how sessions proceed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let visual cues guide the session while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer a shorter check-in or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use approaches like ACT and CBT in ways that match day-to-day life.
