Allison Chapple, LCMHC

Allison Chapple is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with 15 years of experience. She works with adolescents, young adults, and adults under 50. Her approach aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, eating and body-image concerns, and transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, or divorce.

Allison draws on a blend of practical strategies and a warm, accepting style. She leans on approaches that focus on thoughts and behavior, present-moment awareness, and clear goal-setting. Sessions tend to be conversational and down-to-earth rather than highly formal.

Her background includes a 900-hour graduate internship at the University of North Carolina Greensboro and work across community mental health, substance abuse treatment, independent practice, and a pediatric medical clinic. That range informs how she tailors support to different life stages and problems.

In sessions she emphasizes listening, pairing acceptance with actionable steps. Clients can expect to talk through what matters most to them, try simple behavior changes, and practice skills for managing anxiety, urges, or difficult feelings. She also helps people address relationship and intimacy-related concerns and parenting stress.

Allison uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She offers care in English and practices in North Carolina. If you have questions about her experience or approach she invites you to ask before beginning work together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and issues where motivation or meaning is a concern. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, mood disorders, and many everyday struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That can mean mixing ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques so the plan fits the situation and feels manageable.

If you want online options, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what's offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people keep continuity of care during life transitions and try skill practice in everyday settings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions, and Allison will discuss what will work best for your situation during the first meeting.
