Allison Burrell

Allison Burrell is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who uses practical, person-focused approaches in therapy. She draws on several methods to help people sort through relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBTQ issues, anger, anxiety, and stress. She also supports people with attention differences and those coping with life changes.

Allison has three years of professional experience and has worked with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions emphasize clear conversation and small, doable steps toward change.

Her work often centers on everyday problems like trouble sleeping, feeling stuck at work, low self-esteem, or difficulty with boundaries. She uses strategies from approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding reasons and motivation to shift behavior.

Allison also addresses concerns like bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and sexual health topics. She offers support for people dealing with immigration stress, HIV concerns, and complicated feelings such as guilt, shame, or abandonment. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, focusing on what clients want to change.

Sessions are offered in English and German. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Allison uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness in a straightforward way. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on spotting thoughts and actions that keep problems going and trying practical alternatives to shift how people feel. Mindfulness work helps people learn to notice thoughts and bodily sensations so they can respond more calmly to stress.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. That approach uses gentle, goal-focused conversation to strengthen motivation and plan next steps. Allison treats choosing an approach as a team effort and will work with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session options Allison currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from a quieter place, reduce the need to arrange childcare or time off work, and help maintain continuity during life transitions.
