About Allison

Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She helps people with anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBTQ issues, anxiety, stress, and problems with sleep and self-esteem. She also works with career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Allison uses clear, direct conversations in sessions. She encourages people to talk through what is happening and how it affects daily life. She aims to make space for honest description of feelings and actions without judgment.

Her background includes several years of work with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and autistic individuals. That experience informs how she adjusts pace, language, and expectations in sessions. It also shapes practical strategies for managing impulsivity, communication problems, and control issues.

Allison draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, existential ideas, Jungian concepts, and motivational interviewing. She combines these to focus on patterns of thinking and behavior, present-moment awareness, and values-based choices. Sessions often include concrete skills practice alongside reflective discussion.

She offers services in English and German for people located in Texas. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Allison commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which helps with anger, anxiety, and impulsive reactions. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment noticing and simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.

She also uses elements of motivational interviewing to clarify what matters to a person and to support small, achievable changes. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Allison collaborates with clients to choose which methods feel most useful based on goals, preferences, and how issues show up day to day.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people prefer audio-only meetings when video is difficult, while others use video for face-to-face conversation; Allison will discuss what suits practical needs and comfort during the first meetings.
