More about Allison
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in Illinois with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I received my undergraduate degree in Social Work from Bradley University and then went on to The University of Illinois to receive my masters degree in Social Work. Right after graduating, I started working as a school social worker. I recently got married and am now an Army wife, which requires lots of moving and flexibility. I found BetterHelp and love how accessible it makes therapy! I love that you can receive the support you need from the comfort of your own home. I've been working with teens and individuals on this platform for over a year. My greatest joy in life is Jesus and this plays a huge role in how my worldview has been formed. Although, I am very cautious to not bring my own personal views and beliefs into my sessions. Allowing space for where you're at and your views and beliefs.
My counseling style is fairly laid back, caring, and warm. My promise to you is to create a safe, respectful, caring place for you to share your thoughts, feelings, and struggles without fear of judgment. I try my best to respect your time, be prepared, and to provide ethical, clinical, and evidence-based knowledge to help meet your therapeutic needs.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s very enlightening
Great therapist, understanding of your curveball life experiences & is helpful walking through them. Would strongly recommend Allison, even to the client with a strong therapeutic background
Allison is very thoughtful, energetic and kind. She has been extremely helpful to me even after just a few sessions. She does a good job of being professional without making you feel like she is "at work". You can immediately tell she cares and loves what she does.
She gives great advice and really listens. She is very laid back and a very comfortable person to talk to. I would recommend.
Allison has been there for me through a very hard time in my life, she has been amazing and has guided me through the difficult times and situations I been in. She has been a blessing to my life and I’m very thankful for her
First time in my life I have ever connected with a therapist!!
Allison listens to what you have to say and is so comforting and respectful. She’s very down to earth and makes me feel heard. I would recommend her over and over!
Excellent counselor. Actively listens and promotes my personal growth with her time and resources. I felt very comfortable sharing difficult feelings with her. I would highly recommend her.
Thank you for your listening and giving me tools to help me get out of my funk Allison!
I always feel better after meeting with Allison!
I've noticed a lot of changes every day after starting this app. It makes me feel stronger knowing that if something makes me upset I can talk to Allison about it. Any time, any place. My migraines are more manageable and my mind feels more relaxed. She has shown me a shiny new perspective and given me positive revelations.
Allison is wonderful. She listens and picks up key points and areas of focus with every session. I have been wanting to try therapy for years now, and this has been a great experience. I highly recommend her if you are looking to get rebalanced and dealing with anxiety.
