About Allison
Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBT matters, anger, anxiety, stress, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports people facing career questions, sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and the strain of major life changes.
Allison uses Narrative Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based ideas to help people tell their story differently.
Background and approach
She encourages clients to notice patterns in thoughts and actions and to try small changes that feel doable. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational, with room for reflection and exploration of personal meaning. Her background includes work with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism, which informs a patient and clear communication style.
Allison aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful, explaining things in simple language and checking in on what helps most. She also addresses concerns such as compassion fatigue, impulsivity, attachment issues, codependency, communication struggles, and questions around gender dysphoria and HIV/AIDS.
Allison pays attention to how past experiences shape current relationships and choices, and she invites clients to experiment with new ways of relating. Sessions are offered in English and German and can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits the client's needs.

Online session options
Using Narrative and CBT Online to Change Your Story
Allison draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problem stories and notice how those stories shape day-to-day choices. That work focuses on identifying dominant narratives and testing small revisions to see what changes in relationships and mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking and behavior patterns, then replace unhelpful habits with practical alternatives that reduce anxiety or anger.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Allison will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether to lean more on narrative work, CBT techniques, mindfulness practices, or a mix that fits the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to allow flexible scheduling. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions or short text check-ins can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for frequent check-ins and brief coaching between longer sessions, making therapy easier to work into life.
