About Allison

Allison Metz is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of clinical experience working across private practice, medical family health centers, community-based agencies, and residential treatment settings. She brings focused expertise in trauma and abuse, borderline personality disorder, family issues, depression, anxiety, and postpartum mood concerns, drawing on years of direct clinical work with a wide range of presenting problems.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Community Counseling from John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. In addition to her graduate training, she has pursued specialized instruction in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy - TF-CBT - and in dialectical behavior therapy - DBT, which inform her work with clients navigating intense emotions and complex trauma histories.

Allison has experience providing care to toddlers, children, adolescents, and adults, adapting interventions to meet developmental needs and family systems. Her approach integrates evidence-informed skills and practical strategies to help individuals and families manage symptoms, improve relationships, and build resilience over time.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often useful for conditions such as anxiety, depression, and stress by providing concrete skills to manage symptoms and shift perspectives.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindful awareness. This approach supports people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship challenges by teaching practical strategies for stability and improved communication.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and acceptance to reduce rumination and reactivity. It can complement CBT and DBT by helping clients develop calmer, more focused responses to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Allison collaborates with each person to determine what will best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists work together with clients to tailor techniques and pace so interventions feel manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that collaborative work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from home or other convenient locations, and maintain continuity of support when in-person meetings are not possible.
