About Allison

Allison Nitschke offers a compassionate, relationship-focused practice for people facing a wide range of life challenges. With 21 years of clinical experience, Allison draws on a person-centered stance that prioritizes empathy and collaboration while also employing practical, evidence-informed methods when helpful.

Background and approach

She works with concerns including ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting and relationship issues, and other stressors that affect daily functioning and well-being. Trained as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Allison blends longer-term relational work with solution-oriented strategies for clients who want focused change.

Her background includes work with severe mental health disorders, early childhood mental health, body image, and marriage and family themes, and she tailors interventions to each person’s needs. The guiding aim of her practice is to promote healing and restoration through attentive listening, thoughtful feedback, and collaborative goal-setting.

Integrating relational and practical approaches in online care



Allison commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy, reflecting a person’s experience, and creating a supportive space where clients can explore feelings and values; this approach is helpful for people seeking deeper understanding and relational repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through concrete skills and exercises, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison partners with clients to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods over time so the work fits individual needs and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from home or while juggling responsibilities, allowing therapy to fit into a busy life while preserving the relational focus of in-person work.
