About Allison
Allison Burrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, conversational therapy to address anger and related concerns. She speaks English and German and brings three years of clinical experience to her work. She aims to make things feel manageable and straightforward for people reaching out for help.
Allison often begins by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She focuses on clear goals, real-world strategies, and small steps that can reduce stress and reactivity.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at helping people notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new skills between meetings. Her background includes work with people navigating LGBTQ issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, stress and anxiety, sleep problems, career worries, and attention differences like ADHD.
She has also worked with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism, and addresses topics such as impulsivity, communication problems, grief around separation, and guilt or shame. Allison draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, existential ideas, Jungian perspectives, and motivational interviewing.
That variety lets her match methods to what a person needs most, whether that means concrete coping skills or deeper reflection on meaning and identity. She describes therapy as a collaborative process. People who come to her can expect a nonjudgmental space to speak honestly, practical tools to try between sessions, and guidance in making changes at a comfortable pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Allison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and changing patterns that cause stress. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people stay calmer in the moment.Finding the right approach is something she does together with each person. She will ask about your goals, what has helped or not helped before, and your daily routine. Then she tailors a mix of skills-based work and deeper reflection to match your needs and preferences.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or communicate when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try methods that work for each person.
