About Allison

Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She helps people address anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and LGBTQ-related issues. Sessions are conversational and practical, aiming to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Allison has worked with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and with autistic clients. She also supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, ADHD, and career pressures. Her practice includes work around impulsivity, codependency, and the lasting effects of abandonment.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and existential ideas. She uses thought-focused techniques to spot patterns and mindfulness to bring attention into the present moment. Existential perspectives help clients explore values, meaning, and choices when life feels stuck.

She mentions interest in sexual health and is in progress toward a Certified Sex Therapist credential with the Sexual Health Alliance, which she lists as ongoing. That training goal informs how she talks about intimacy and kink without implying a completed certification.

Allison offers sessions in English and German. She is based in Texas and works with adult individuals on issues such as relationship conflict, anger, grief over separation, and navigating gender dysphoria. To begin, people use the site’s matching and scheduling flow to set up a first meeting.

How Allison’s approaches translate to online work

Allison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns that fuel anger. CBT focuses on practical skills such as spotting triggers, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing different responses in daily life.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build moment-to-moment awareness. Mindfulness practices teach breathing and attention skills that can reduce escalation and help people pause before reacting.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, mindfulness, existential ideas, or a mix fits best based on goals and what feels useful. She adjusts methods as issues and needs change.

Confirm session formats before booking because the biography did not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone work without travel. Many people find it easier to practice mindfulness or role-play communication skills from a familiar location, but check the available formats before scheduling.
