Allison Petty, LPCC

Allison Petty is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 10 years of practice experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, depression, and related life changes. Sessions are offered in English and the practice does not accept international clients.

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 people explore feelings that are hard to name. That can look like drawing, writing, or other expressive tasks to clarify what is happening between sessions.

Her way of working mixes practical strategies and reflective work. She pulls from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions. Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices appear when they fit a client's goals.

Allison has experience in many settings including shelters, outpatient clinics, hospitals, jails, and prisons. That background informs her approach to complex issues like addiction, complex trauma, and reintegration after incarceration. She shares tools, worksheets, and exercises clients can try between sessions.

People who prefer a collaborative, creative, and skills-focused approach often find her straightforward style practical. To begin, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
