About Allison
Allison Gale is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and career changes. She meets people where they are and aims to create a calm, supportive space for honest conversation. Allison uses straightforward tools and practical exercises that clients can try between sessions.
With six years of clinical experience, she has worked with single adults, parents, and people navigating major life transitions. Her work includes helping with trauma and abuse recovery, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
How Allison works
She also supports people facing eating and body image concerns, self-esteem struggles, and relationship or communication problems. Allison often brings art and mindfulness into sessions as simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings. She offers exercises clients can practice at home to build coping skills.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on small, doable steps that lead to clearer choices. She also addresses more specific concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence history, immigration-related stress, and family of origin difficulties. These topics are handled with steady pacing and attention to a client’s goals.
Outside of work Allison enjoys reading, hiking, and making art. She works with clients in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Allison relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people make steady changes. She commonly uses mindfulness practices to help clients notice their thoughts and bodily reactions, which can reduce stress and interrupt anxious cycles. She also brings art-based activities into sessions as a way to externalize feelings and explore emotions when words are hard to find. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Allison will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what methods feel most comfortable. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized and how homework or exercises are tailored. Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between appointments or to use writing as a therapeutic tool. These options let people choose what best fits their schedule and day-to-day needs.Start online instead of waiting
