About Allison
Allison Wallace is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and grief. She works with adults who want practical steps to manage mood, behavior, and daily pressures. Allison uses clear, straightforward communication and aims to create a nonjudgmental space for each person.
She draws on seven years of clinical experience providing trauma-informed care for people with depression, bipolar disorder, addiction concerns, and trauma histories.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people in the LGBT community and with a range of mood and personality-related issues. Allison approaches problems by looking at patterns in relationships and day-to-day routines. Her style mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete tools, practice between meetings, and clear steps parents can try at home. Allison earned a bachelor of social work from Johnson C. Smith University, a master of social work from Georgia State University, and a master of family therapy from Mercer University.
She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Georgia. Outside of clinical work she reads, exercises, travels, watches reality television, and spends time with friends and family. She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people make sense of change and develop practical coping strategies.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems by breaking issues into small, manageable steps.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships are strained.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting practical, short-term goals and building on what already works. Sessions typically focus on doable changes and small wins you can try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as your goals change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you maintain a more traditional session feel, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging can help you share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
