About Allison
Allison Wallace welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or changes at work or home. She aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and make choices that fit their life. Allison uses straightforward language and calm listening to make conversations easier to follow.
Allison is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW. She holds a Master of Social Work from Georgia State University and a Master of Family Therapy from Mercer University.
How Allison works
Her background includes seven years of clinical work focused on mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and substance concerns. She also has experience supporting people who identify as LGBT and those facing bipolar disorder. In sessions she leans on practical, skills-based methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
That means she helps people spot patterns of thinking, learn coping skills for strong emotions, and set small, manageable goals. Conversations are non-judgmental and aimed at real-life change. She also pays attention to attachment challenges, personality issues, and disruptive mood symptoms that can affect daily life and relationships.
When needed, Allison looks at how relationships and family dynamics affect what someone is facing. Her style is collaborative and adaptable to each person’s situation. Outside of work she enjoys reading, exercise, travel, and time with friends and family.
She encourages anyone navigating loss, big transitions, or ongoing emotional pain to consider reaching out and exploring what helpful support might look like.

Online support options
Online approaches that build skills and practical change
Allison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking big problems into small, testable steps.She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT-style skills can help when emotions feel intense or relationships become confusing.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Allison collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging lets someone touch base between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
