About Allison
Allison Bratton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 12 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anger, addiction, relationship strain, grief, anxiety, and major life changes. Her practice also covers concerns like sleep trouble, parenting stress, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and depression.
She uses several practical approaches in session, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Conversations focus on identifying patterns that lead to snapping or building resentment. Sessions involve learning concrete skills to respond differently in tense moments and reduce ongoing stress.
Allison describes her perspective as faith-informed and conservative, and she brings that framework into work when clients want it. She pays attention to family background, attachment issues, and experiences such as trauma, adoption or foster care, and domestic violence when those themes are relevant. Work can include looking at family of origin issues and codependency patterns.
She also supports people managing addiction, drug and alcohol concerns, and related problems with relationships or employment. Practical problem solving, goal-setting, and coaching techniques are part of how she helps people move forward.
Sessions are conducted in English and Allison does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Allison’s approaches translate to online work
Allison uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action rather than getting stuck in anger or avoidance. ACT can help when frustration or rumination keeps a person from moving forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Clients learn to spot patterns that lead to snapping or resentment and practice alternative responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation when feelings feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Allison will work with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That choice can change over time as needs and priorities evolve.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, rely on phone audio when bandwidth is low, or schedule sessions during a work break. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches so the work stays practical and oriented toward day-to-day improvements.
