Alison Mann, LPCC, LPC

Alison Mann has worked in educational settings for the past 11 years, providing hands-on support to students and families who face anxiety, social behavior challenges, depression, ADHD, and learning disorders. She earned a master's degree from the accredited Texas A&M University-Commerce program and blends cognitive behavioral strategies with humanistic and solution-focused techniques to meet each person's needs. Alison concentrates on helping people gain greater control over their emotions and develop practical skills for responding to life stressors rather than reacting automatically. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, skill-building, and short-term problem solving to promote healthier daily functioning and increased well-being. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor - and draws on her school-based experience to offer grounded, relatable guidance for students, parents, and adults seeking change.

Alison frames therapy as a cooperative process focused on clear goals, emotional regulation, and tangible steps toward a more resilient, balanced life. She aims to help clients turn difficult reactions into deliberate choices, supporting lasting improvements in mood, relationships, and overall functioning.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches in Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own pace of growth; this approach is often helpful for improving self-esteem, clarifying values, and strengthening communication in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and exercises, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alison will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set priorities, try interventions, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or work, and use communication methods that feel most comfortable for the client.
