Rachel Allison, LPCC - Therapist in Ohio

About Rachel

Rachel Allison is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. She focuses on everyday struggles like sleep problems, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Rachel writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

Her sessions aim to make hard feelings more manageable. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to break down overwhelming problems into smaller steps.

Background and approach

Rachel also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Rachel works from a respectful, client-centered stance. That means she follows the person’s pace and priorities, and helps them set goals they actually want.

She pays attention to relationships, communication patterns, attachment concerns, and the emotional fallout of separation or loss. Her background includes five years of clinical work as an LPCC - licensed professional clinical counselor - in Ohio. She blends evidence-based methods with an understanding of personal values and, when relevant, spiritual beliefs.

Sessions are conversational and focused on practical change. People who choose Rachel can expect clear strategies for coping, skills to manage anxiety and panic, and support for rebuilding self-compassion. She offers multiple online options so therapy can fit into busy schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small committed steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers structured tools to reduce panic, manage anxiety, and improve sleep by changing unhelpful thinking and practicing new habits.

Rachel views finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try techniques that fit those needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The work is paced to what the person can manage in day-to-day life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it possible to use CBT and ACT skills between sessions, check in briefly when life gets busy, and keep continuity during transitions. The flexible options help people fit therapy into parenting schedules, work, and other commitments while still getting practical tools and emotional support.

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.

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.
