About Allison
Allison Petty is an Ohio LPCC with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and relationship concerns. She also addresses family of origin issues, intimacy-related problems, and challenges tied to sexuality and LGBT matters.
Allison trained at Kent State University and completed a Master of Arts from Ursuline College that included art therapy and counseling. Creative expression features in her work and she often invites art and personal expression as tools for reflection and change. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and making choices that fit a client's life.
Her approach draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, Jungian perspectives, and mindfulness practices. She blends methods to match what a person needs rather than using a single fixed model. Clients are offered skills, homework ideas, and methods to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Allison has experience across many settings, including community outpatient programs, shelters, hospitals, and correctional facilities. That range informs how she supports people dealing with substance use, hoarding, financial stress, and reintegration after incarceration. She shares tools for coping, communication, and rebuilding routines.
Conversations in sessions are collaborative and straightforward. People can expect concrete techniques, resource recommendations, and space to try new strategies. She works in English and practices in Ohio as an LPCC.
How Allison blends approaches and what online work involves
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. It focuses on validating a person's perspective and building goals together, which can help with relationship concerns and family of origin issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers concrete exercises and behavioral experiments useful for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those techniques can be helpful for intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and improving communication.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That assessment may change over time as progress is made and different skills are tried.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and creative activities so they work in a remote setting without changing the focus of the work.
