Alison Mann, LPCC, LPC

Alison Mann is a licensed counselor with a decade of experience working in educational settings. She holds a Master’s degree from Texas A&M University-Commerce and has spent years supporting students and families with anxiety, ADHD, depression, and learning challenges.

Alison focuses on practical steps that help people manage strong emotions and daily stress. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at small, achievable changes.

Her background includes hands-on work in schools, where she supported social behavior, coping skills, and academic stress. That experience shaped a calm, problem-solving approach that parents often find clear and direct. Alison explains strategies in plain language and helps people try them between sessions.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps set simple goals. Homework is often short and practical, such as trying one new coping skill during the week. She emphasizes what a person can do day to day to feel more in control.

Alison works with adults on concerns like anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, self-esteem, career stress, and parenting challenges. She also helps people facing life transitions, compassion fatigue, or questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered from Texas in English.

How Alison Uses CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Alison often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on simple exercises and practical homework that target anxiety, depression, social phobia, and stress.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where people can set their own goals. That approach emphasizes understanding a person’s experience and working at their pace, which suits concerns like grief, life purpose, relationship communication, and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Alison will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs, adjusting as progress is made. She treats the plan as flexible and evaluates what works together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and family life.
