About Allison
Allison Metz is an Ohio-based Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, mood changes, and the strain of parenting. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at everyday problems you bring to a session.
Allison draws on several evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are applied to manage strong emotions and improve coping. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are added to build short-term, usable strategies.
Her background includes work in private practice, medical family health centers, community agencies, and residential treatment settings. She has substantial experience with trauma, depression, anxiety, postpartum mood concerns, and family problems. Allison has worked across age ranges from toddlers to adults, and she brings that range into how she plans sessions.
Allison completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Community Counseling at John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. The LPCC credential is noted as Ohio LPCC. She can explain what these credentials mean during your first conversation.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals. Allison helps people identify small changes, practice new skills, and track progress. For parents worried about sleep or mood changes, she emphasizes workable routines and coping steps that fit daily life.
Approaches that translate to online work
Allison often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that worsen sleep, anxiety, or low mood. CBT usually involves setting small goals, trying new behaviors, and tracking what helps over time.She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills into sessions to teach breathing, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques. Those skills can be practiced between appointments to reduce panic, anger, and strong emotional swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily schedule. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and keeping work or school disruptions small.
