About Allison
Allison Kemble is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with eight years of practice. She works with people facing grief, stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, and major life changes. She also supports parenting concerns, career transitions, caregiver strain, and health-related challenges.
Allison trained in clinical social work at the University of Missouri Columbia and began her career as a career counselor helping clients navigate employment barriers. She provided case management for people dealing with housing, childcare, and food needs while they pursued work. That early experience shaped a practical problem-solving style.
She later moved into medical social work with a large health system. In that role she provided grief counseling, crisis intervention, and short-term support for people facing critical or chronic illness. She has experience helping people manage disease-related stress, medication adherence, and the emotional fallout of difficult medical news.
Her approach draws on solution-focused, client-centered, and motivational interviewing techniques. She starts by listening to the person in front of her and then introduces tools and skills to meet stated goals. Sessions emphasize clear steps, coping strategies, and measurable progress rather than lengthy theory talks.
Allison offers help with parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, compassion fatigue, chronic pain and illness, eating issues, ADHD, and caregiver stress. People who want practical skills for handling anger and for managing everyday stress may find her style straightforward and action-oriented.
How Allison’s approaches translate to online work
Allison draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and solution-focused methods alongside client-centered listening. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and settle on valued actions rather than getting stuck in unhelpful reactions. Solution-focused work breaks problems into small, doable steps and targets immediate changes that reduce stress and anger.She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. Early sessions focus on what matters most to the client, what has helped before, and what feels practical. From there she suggests techniques and adjusts them to the person’s goals and preferences so the plan fits real life.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before scheduling because the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness practices or skills coaching between appointments so new habits can be tried in day-to-day situations.
