About Allison

Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who blends evidence-based techniques with exploratory, depth-oriented work.

Background and approach

She integrates cognitive behavioral tools to address patterns of thinking and behavior, mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, and Jungian and existential ideas to explore meaning, identity, and personal narrative. With three years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of approaches to tailor care to each person's concerns.

Her practice focuses on a wide spectrum of issues including LGBT matters, relationship and intimacy challenges, anger, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, sleep difficulties, career concerns, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication and control problems, gender dysphoria, grief around separation and divorce, and questions related to kink and alternative sexual cultures. She has also worked with people facing HIV/AIDS, immigration issues, and impulsivity.

Allison cultivates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings and experiences. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, supporting people as they take steps toward greater well-being, clarity, and practical change.

Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online

Allison commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices when working with clients online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing impulsivity. Mindfulness therapy trains attention to the present moment and gentle acceptance of experience, helping with stress, sleep difficulties, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Allison approaches that decision collaboratively. She discusses goals, preferences, and practical needs with each person and adapts techniques over time so the work aligns with what the client finds most helpful and meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or geographic constraints while allowing therapists to use skills-based exercises, reflective conversation, and mindfulness practices in a way that fits each client's life.
