About Allison

Allison Burrell is an LPC practicing in Texas who focuses on building a calm, open space for people to talk about hard topics. She uses clear, direct conversation to help clients sort through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and problems with sleep or self-esteem. Allison draws on three years of clinical work to support people facing life changes, career stress, bipolar symptoms, or compassion fatigue.

Her approach is pragmatic and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also brings existential and Jungian ideas into sessions to help clients reflect on meaning, values, and inner patterns.

Allison has experience with LGBTQ topics, gender dysphoria, and communication struggles. She has worked with people who identify on the autism spectrum and with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, impulsivity, codependency, and issues related to grief or abandonment.

Sessions are conducted in English and German and are based in Texas. Allison describes therapy as a collaborative process: she listens, helps set practical goals, and offers tools to practice between sessions. The focus is on small, steady changes that fit into everyday life and support better sleep, steadier mood, and clearer relationships.

If someone wants to begin, the typical next step is to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to availability.

How Allison's approaches fit with online therapy

Existential Therapy helps people look at values, purpose, and life choices. It supports work on meaning, relationships, and major life transitions by encouraging honest reflection and personal responsibility.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns, improve sleep routines, and reduce anxiety or anger through practical exercises.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to lower reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques can support better sleep, stress reduction, and steadier mood when practiced regularly.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean trying CBT skills for sleep and anxiety, then adding existential reflection or mindfulness practices as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Licensed professionals can offer care that fits around work, family routines, and other commitments without promising a specific outcome.
