About Allison

Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She draws on practical, conversation-based methods to help people who are dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, anxiety, stress, sleep troubles, and questions about identity and sexual health.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to try new behaviors. Allison also incorporates mindfulness and existential ideas to help people notice the present moment and find meaning when life feels confusing.

Her background includes work with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism, and she lists experience supporting LGBT concerns and intimacy-related issues. Allison has three years of professional experience as an LPC in Texas and continues to expand her practice areas related to sexual health.

Sessions are conversational and aimed at practical change. She focuses on clear goals, skill-building, and strategies people can use between sessions to manage mood, improve communication, and reduce stress.

Allison offers care in English and German. She provides multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules and preferences, and she works collaboratively to find approaches that fit each person's needs.

How Allison’s approaches work online

Allison often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and managing anger by breaking big problems into manageable steps.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and impulse control. Existential Therapy is used to discuss meaning, values, and life transitions when people feel stuck or unsure about choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Allison collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She adjusts tools and pacing based on what proves most helpful in session and between appointments.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers shorter written exchanges. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules.
