Alison Gabel, LPC

Alison Gabel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and anger. Alison also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, career shifts, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her work is grounded in approaches that center the person rather than a fixed method. Sessions focus on the client’s needs and goals. Alison helps people name what’s happening, sort through emotional reactions, and make small, practical shifts that change daily life.

She commonly uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. Psychodynamic perspectives help bring patterns into view. Solution-focused and trauma-informed methods are used when people want concrete steps or are processing difficult events.

In a session she listens for what drives repeated frustrations and resentments, then helps clients build clearer responses. That might mean practicing a different way to speak up, trying a short coping plan between meetings, or mapping how a past wound still shows up now. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful.

Alison’s background includes work with individuals and groups around crisis intervention and trauma. Her experience spans a range of concerns from mood disorders to sexuality and attachment issues. People come when they want to understand their reactions better and handle everyday situations with more control.

If you are considering working on anger, relationship strain, or stress at work, she asks about your goals and together you decide practical next steps.
