About Allison

Allison Wallace is a Georgia-based licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, mood concerns, and trauma.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience, she brings a practical, trauma-informed perspective to clients facing depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction issues, attachment concerns, personality challenges, and family or intimacy difficulties. Allison emphasizes a nonjudgmental, strength-based stance and strives to understand each person’s situation before shaping treatment.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical behavior strategies and solution-focused methods to build skills, reduce distress, and clarify goals. Allison frames challenges systemically, considering how relationships and environments influence emotions and behavior, and she adapts interventions to fit client needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Licensed as an LCSW and holding CSW credentials in Georgia, she offers therapy that aims to be practical, collaborative, and oriented toward meaningful change. Outside of work she enjoys reading, exercise, travel, and spending time with friends and family, and she encourages prospective clients to seek support during major life transitions or times of overwhelm.

How Allison’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Allison commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when clients face intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison works with each person to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences, trying different strategies and adjusting the plan over time so therapy feels useful and aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.

Online therapy with Allison is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows sessions to fit into busy schedules and lets clients access care from wherever they are in Georgia. These remote options can make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between meetings, and connect with a licensed professional without rearranging daily routines.
