About Alison
Alison Mann is a licensed counselor working in Texas who has spent a decade supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and other life changes. She holds a Master’s degree from Texas A&M University-Commerce and maintains credentials as an LPCC and an LPC. Alison draws on practical approaches to help people handle everyday struggles and big transitions.
She keeps sessions simple and focused. Alison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, testable changes.
Background and approach
She also takes a client-centered stance that values each person’s goals and pace. Conversations aim to build clear skills for coping and communication rather than only talking about problems. Parents and families often come to her with concerns about behavior, stress, grief, and relationship strain.
Alison also works with issues such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions, and career stress. She includes topics like forgiveness, life purpose, and social anxiety when they matter to a person’s day-to-day functioning. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Sessions focus on concrete steps, homework that fits busy lives, and checking progress week to week. Alison emphasizes practical tools that clients can use between sessions to manage feelings and improve interactions. Therapy sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session once a plan is in place.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to each person, and follows the client’s goals so sessions feel collaborative and respectful. This approach helps when someone needs paced support and emotional understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions break problems into small pieces and test practical changes, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and parenting challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she helps shape a plan that mixes listening, skill-building, and simple homework to track progress.
Online formats make that collaborative work easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging offer more flexible check-ins and reminders between meetings. These options help keep continuity of care and allow pacing that fits a family’s schedule.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
