Allison Wallace, LCSW, CSW

Allison Wallace is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and questions about identity. She uses straightforward language and a non-judgmental approach to help clients sort through what feels overwhelming. Allison brings seven years of clinical experience and aims to meet people where they are.

Allison focuses on practical, easy-to-use strategies that fit into everyday life. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She describes her style as open-minded and strength-based, avoiding labels that make someone feel defined by a diagnosis.

Her work has included supporting people with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation concerns, and broader mood and personality issues. She also helps with parenting stress, attachment struggles, anger, addictions, intimacy concerns, and career-related strain. She has experience with clients in the LGBT community and addresses relationship and family-related conflict from individual perspectives.

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. Her credentials include LCSW and CSW, and she has worked in clinical settings across several years.

She likes to work collaboratively, helping clients set clear goals and try practical steps between sessions. Outside of work she enjoys reading, exercise, travel, and time with friends and family. If someone is navigating a big change or loss, she encourages them to consider a short conversation to see if her way of working feels like a fit.

Approaches that guide online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress so people can try specific techniques between sessions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It often includes practical exercises for handling strong feelings and staying grounded.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable steps and what is already working. It helps people set concrete goals and try brief experiments to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice new skills in day-to-day settings and bring real situations into the conversation.
