About Allison

Allison Petty is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with ten years of experience. She offers a calm, straightforward approach to therapy and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life transitions. Allison values creativity and personal expression and brings that into sessions in practical ways.

She trained at Kent State University and completed a Master of Arts from Ursuline College with emphasis on art therapy and counseling.

Background and approach

That background shapes how she uses art, metaphor, and creative tasks as tools alongside talk therapy. Sessions typically include hands-on techniques, goal-setting, and steps people can try between meetings. Allison blends several approaches to meet each person’s needs.

She uses Jungian ideas about symbols and meaning, client-centered practices that follow the person’s lead, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior elements also appear when they fit the work. Her style is warm, collaborative, and practical.

She shares resources and concrete skills, and works with people on relationship concerns, sexual and gender identity matters, grief, parenting stress, and workplace strain. She has experience across community outpatient settings, shelters, hospitals, and correctional facilities. Allison treats a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, process and substance addictions, hoarding, codependency, and intimacy-related issues.

She emphasizes nonjudgmental support and helps clients find realistic steps toward change.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Allison uses Jungian Therapy to pay attention to symbols, dreams, and personal stories. That work helps people notice patterns in their life and find meaning when dealing with identity, grief, or long-standing emotional pain.

She also uses a client-centered approach that follows the person’s lead. In practice this means listening closely, checking in about goals, and tailoring sessions to what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another frequent tool and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. Allison discusses options with each person and recommends methods based on their concerns, goals, and comfort. She adapts the mix of Jungian, client-centered, and CBT techniques as the work progresses so it fits each person’s needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for richer conversation and reading visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or people who want more frequent, short contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other obligations.
