Allison Chapple, LCMHC

Allison Chapple is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and eating or body-image concerns. Allison aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable so people can use what they learn right away.

She works with adolescents, young adults, and adults under 50. Her background includes community mental health, substance abuse treatment, private practice, and a pediatric medical clinic. That variety means she has seen common problems from many angles and knows how life events can change daily routines.

Allison uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods. Sessions often include skill-building, short experiments to try between visits, and focused problem-solving. She keeps the work practical and goal-oriented so progress is easy to track.

Her style is warm, casual, and accepting. She draws on the person-centered ideas of Carl Rogers, emphasizing trust and respect as the basis for change. Allison is also comfortable using motivational interviewing to support shifts in habits and motivation.

People choose Allison when they want clear tools and a friendly, collaborative guide. She helps parents and individuals navigate transitions such as postpartum adjustment, divorce, and the stresses of young adulthood. She tailors sessions to each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Allison commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and eating-related struggles. It often includes simple exercises and between-session practice to build skills.

ACT helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. That approach works well for stress, life transitions, and situations where someone wants to reconnect with what matters despite difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Allison will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether CBT techniques, ACT strategies, mindfulness, or solution-focused tasks are the best fit and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, quick skill coaching, or a shorter session during a busy day. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to use new skills between meetings.
