My name is Alison Atkinson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and work full time as a high school counselor. I am interested in expanding my services to help with the increased mental health needs that I have seen in recent years. I have been a school counselor for 16+ years working in both middle and high school settings.
My personal and professional life have afforded me a variety of experiences to help teens and families from various backgrounds and with numerous life situations. Primarily my work has been working with students and families regarding life/family changes, grief/loss, symptoms of depression and anxiety, goal setting, time management and organization skills. I approach working with clients from a humanistic and person-centered viewpoint. I want my clients to see me as an empathic, non judgmental listener who will meet them where they are in life. I am a supportive counselor that assists clients through meeting their personal goals. I use techniques from solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and person-centered therapy. I am also trained in Trauma Informed Care.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
