About Allison
Allison Chapple is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience based in North Carolina. She offers practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, eating and body-image concerns, depression, and life transitions. Allison keeps language plain and sessions focused on real-life goals.
She presents as warm and approachable, aiming to make sessions feel relaxed and straightforward. Allison draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-based actions.
How Allison works
She also uses mindfulness techniques to slow down intense feelings and solution-focused tools to set small, concrete goals. These methods are used together to address mood problems, social anxiety, postpartum struggles, and concerns about intimacy and relationships. Her background includes a 900-hour internship completed during graduate training at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
She has worked in substance abuse treatment, community mental health, independent practice, and a pediatric medical clinic. That variety shaped her ability to handle practical and messy life problems. Sessions tend to emphasize a collaborative approach.
Allison helps people identify what matters to them, then picks small steps to move toward those values. She also uses short-term strategies when people need immediate relief or clearer coping tools. Allison works with adolescents, young adults, and adults under 50 and pays special attention to parenting, eating and food-related issues, and women's concerns.
She delivers care in English and focuses on helping people make doable changes in day-to-day life.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult emotions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where motivation and values matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms. It works well for anxiety, mood challenges, and social fears.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients try different techniques to see what fits. Together they set goals, track progress, and adjust methods based on what helps most for everyday functioning.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet the same goals as in-person work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues help, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed, and live chat or text messaging work for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
