About Allison
Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses thoughtful, practical therapy to help people manage anxiety, relationship concerns, and phobias. She speaks English and German and brings three years of professional experience to sessions. Her manner is direct but warm, and she focuses on clear steps people can use between meetings.
Allison draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems stuck.
Background and approach
She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice stress and calm their nervous system. When useful, she brings elements of Existential and Jungian approaches to help people explore meaning and personal patterns.
She works with clients on a wide range of concerns including LGBT matters, intimacy and relationship challenges, anger, self-esteem, sleep problems, career stress, bipolar management, and attention differences such as ADHD. Additional focus areas include attachment or abandonment issues, communication problems, codependency, and questions about gender dysphoria or HIV / AIDS.
She has experience supporting people who identify with kink or BDSM culture and those navigating immigration or guilt and shame. In sessions Allison aims to set simple goals and practical steps. She prefers short, clear interventions that clients can try between sessions.
This hands-on style includes motivational interviewing techniques to build momentum and narrative work to reframe old stories. People meet with her by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule according to availability.
How Allison’s approaches work online
Allison commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, phobias, sleep problems, and mood swings because it breaks issues into clear steps to practice.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity to stress and can improve sleep and emotional regulation. When helpful, elements of Existential Therapy are used to talk about meaning, values, and life choices in a straightforward way.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Allison will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust techniques over time. She works with clients to set small goals and review what is or isn’t helping so the plan evolves together.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, focused skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or travel.
