About Allison
Allison Bratton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oregon who helps people facing sleep struggles and other life stresses. She focuses on practical steps to improve daily routines, manage anxiety, and reduce the nighttime worry that keeps people awake. Allison aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
Allison blends several therapy styles to match a client's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and self-understanding.
Her approach is faith-informed and described as conservative, offering a perspective that may appeal to clients wanting those values included in their care. Sessions center on listening first, then creating small, practical goals clients can try between meetings. Allison emphasizes building self-compassion, clarifying purpose, and repairing patterns that interfere with rest and day-to-day functioning.
Over 12 years of clinical work have shaped her focus on addiction recovery, trauma, relationship patterns, and life transitions. She has experience addressing grief, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and substance concerns, among other issues. That breadth helps when problems overlap and affect sleep.
People who choose Allison usually want clear steps and a steady therapeutic presence. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
