About Allison

Allison Chapple is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 15 years of experience in North Carolina. She works with adolescents, young adults, and adults under 50, and she often helps people facing stress, anxiety, eating concerns, depression, and parenting challenges.

Allison trained with a 900-hour internship at The University of North Carolina Greensboro and has worked in settings from substance abuse treatment to pediatric medical clinics. She holds the LCMHC credential - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

Background and approach

Allison centers her work on a warm, down-to-earth therapeutic relationship. She values acceptance and helps clients feel heard before moving to skills and strategies. Her sessions tend to be conversational and practical, with a casual tone that many find easy to talk with.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and build coping strategies that fit daily life. For those dealing with eating or body image issues, she combines attention to behavior with attention to thoughts and feelings.

Her background includes work in community mental health, substance abuse treatment, independent practice, and a pediatric medical setting. Those experiences inform how she approaches mood disorders, transition issues of young adulthood, and postpartum or pregnancy-related concerns. Allison also stays current through continuing education in these areas.

In sessions she aims to be understanding and open-minded. She partners with clients to set goals and use practical steps to move forward. Her style is approachable, focused on real-life solutions, and tailored to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit busy lives

Allison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and eating-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then commit to actions that match their values.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Allison will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. These formats let clients fit work, parenting, or school demands into their schedules and keep continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver the same conversational, skills-based work Allison practices in person, while making it simpler to meet from home or on the go.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
