She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people retell difficult stories and see new options. Allison also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to address patterns that affect relationships and emotional life.

Sessions blend discussion, practical exercises, and moments of reflection to build new habits. Allison has a background in business and a long personal practice of mindfulness, which she brings into her clinical work.

Her experience includes supporting adults through mood, trauma, adjustment, and relationship challenges. Her approach is collaborative. She teaches communication skills, offers behavioral tools, and supports people as they test new ways of relating.

How Allison’s approaches work in online sessions

Allison uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This approach focuses on separating a person from a problem and then looking for alternative plots that open up new choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice hard feelings and choose actions that match their values even when emotions are strong. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and aims to build more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and life situation. She mixes listening, gentle challenge, and skills practice so clients can test what helps and adapt as they go.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
