Allison Wallace, LCSW, CSW

Allison Wallace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addiction concerns. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on meeting each person where they are. Her work also includes grief, trauma, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and concerns related to mood disorders and self-esteem.

Allison uses practical, relationship-minded methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She aims to view concerns without labeling people, and to build on strengths found in everyday life. Sessions emphasize clear goals and skills that people can use between meetings.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from Johnson C. Smith University, a Master of Social Work from Georgia State University, and a master’s degree in family therapy from Mercer University. Allison has seven years of clinical experience working with individuals and couples, and she has provided trauma-informed care for a range of psychiatric and situational needs.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps: identifying patterns that cause distress, building coping skills, and setting small goals that lead to change. She encourages open conversation about identity and relationship dynamics, including work with people in the LGBT community.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys reading, exercise, travel, and spending time with friends and family. She invites people to consider a therapeutic partnership as a way to better understand and move through life transitions.

How Allison’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Allison draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people understand patterns and build practical skills. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in relationships.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and to track progress between sessions. This approach helps people notice what is working and apply simple changes right away. Choosing an approach is collaborative - Allison will discuss options with each person and adjust techniques to match goals, preferences, and current needs.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. Licensed professionals, including Allison, use these approaches to help people build skills and move toward their goals in everyday life.
