Allison Petty, LPCC

Allison Petty is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 10 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns. She also helps people facing grief, career changes, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Allison trained at Kent State University and completed a Master of Arts from Ursuline College with a focus on art therapy and counseling. She brings creativity into sessions and often uses art and personal expression to help clients try new ways of handling hard feelings. Sessions focus on practical strategies people can use between meetings.

Her approach pulls from client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy, Jungian concepts, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She blends methods to match what a person prefers and what helps with their day-to-day problems. That can mean learning new ways to notice triggers, practicing different responses, and building small routines that reduce reactivity.

Allison has worked in shelters, community outpatient programs, private practice, hospital settings, and correctional facilities. That variety has shaped how she helps people manage strong emotions and navigate life changes. She shares tools, worksheets, and skill practice to make sessions directly useful.

Practical supports Allison often addresses include substance concerns, hoarding, money and financial stress, communication problems, and issues tied to sexuality, BDSM and kink, and non-monogamous relationships. She offers straightforward collaboration to identify what to try next and how to measure progress.
