About Allison
Allison Wallace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, and struggles with identity and intimacy. She speaks plainly about real problems and supports people facing mood challenges, trauma, and addictions. Her style is down-to-earth and non-judgmental.
She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps. Allison centers her work on building strengths and improving daily coping skills. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create short-term goals and usable tools.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize problem-solving, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. Her experience includes several years providing trauma-informed care for people dealing with loss, mood disorders, and relational conflict. She has worked with clients from the LGBT community and with people navigating complex personality and attachment issues.
Allison holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Georgia. She keeps language simple in sessions and avoids clinical jargon, so conversations stay focused on what the client wants to change. She encourages collaboration on goals and plans that feel realistic.
Outside of work, she enjoys reading, exercise, travel, and time with friends and family. She views therapy as a space to make sense of life’s changes and to build practical strategies that fit each person’s day-to-day life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Allison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include clear goals and homework you can try between meetings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT-style work is useful for strong mood swings, intense emotions, and improving how you handle conflict.
Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as short-term planning and goal-setting. This approach looks for what already works and builds small steps toward realistic change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Allison collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers practical benefits that fit busy lives. Video calls let sessions feel face-to-face. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support easier to fit into a day. These options help people maintain continuity of care, try different formats, and shape therapy around work, family, and real-world demands.
