Allison Wallace, LCSW, CSW

Allison Wallace is a licensed clinical social worker based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and mood challenges. She uses straightforward methods to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that make daily life easier.

Allison brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She earned a Master of Social Work from Georgia State University and a Master of Family Therapy from Mercer University, and she holds LCSW and CSW credentials. Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, bipolar disorder, and other mood conditions.

Her style is open and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than labels. She emphasizes understanding how relationships and life events shape feelings and behavior, and she looks for realistic ways clients can move forward.

Allison draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor help to each person's situation. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts, learning emotion-management skills, and setting short-term, achievable goals.

She also works with people navigating family stress, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and identity issues related to LGBT experiences. Outside of clinical work, Allison enjoys reading, exercise, travel, reality television, and time with friends and family.

Her approach aims to make therapy practical and relatable. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs, with a focus on things that can change now rather than problems that feel fixed.

How Allison Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Allison often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that make daily routines and relationships easier to manage.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and intense reactions are a concern. DBT offers concrete skills for managing strong feelings, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Allison will discuss options, listen to your goals, and adapt methods so they fit your needs and preferences rather than forcing a single style.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill teaching, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and chat or text can offer shorter, flexible support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping continuity of care.
