Allison Burrell , LPC

Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on womens issues alongside a broad range of concerns such as LGBT matters, relationship and intimacy-related problems, anger, anxiety, and stress. Allison speaks English and German and uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through difficult feelings.

She has worked with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism, which informs a calm, patient approach in sessions. Allison aims to create an open space where clients can name what matters most and try small, practical changes. She emphasizes honest, nonjudgmental talk and steady support as people take steps forward.

Her work draws on several therapeutic styles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking patterns that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness practices teach grounding skills for anxiety and sleeping problems. Motivational Interviewing supports people making life changes like career shifts or coping with compassion fatigue.

Allison blends these methods to match each persons needs rather than using a single formula. Sessions can include skill practice, reflective conversation, and goal-focused planning. She explains options clearly and helps people choose approaches that fit their daily life.

People contact Allison to talk about self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, grief around separation, sexual identity and gender dysphoria, and communication problems. Her style is patient, direct, and practical to help clients move from worry to workable steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Allison commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new actions to change feelings and behavior, which helps with anxiety, anger, and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus, useful for sleeplessness and rumination.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt worked before. Together she and the client try methods and adjust them over time to fit daily routines and changing needs.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief support, problem-solving between sessions, and people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
