01About Allison
Allison Johnston is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. She greets clients with calm focus and practical tools. Her manner is direct but warm, aimed at helping people feel more capable day to day.
Allison draws on about 10 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults in outpatient settings and with people involved in the criminal justice system. That background shaped her skill at listening to complex stories and finding manageable next steps.
Background and approach
She is comfortable addressing addiction concerns, ADHD, trauma, and relationship struggles. Her approach centers on the person in front of her. That means building a cooperative relationship and talking through what matters most to each client.
Allison helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of coping that fit real life. She uses a mix of practical methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and narrative-style work to reframe experiences. Mindfulness skills and EMDR-informed ideas may be part of sessions when they match the client's needs and goals.
Allison aims to help clients build confidence in problem solving and decision making. Clients can expect short-term strategies for immediate relief and longer work on deeper issues like trauma, grief, or identity. Her tone is straightforward and supportive, focused on steady progress.
If someone is ready to try talking through next steps, she helps map out realistic goals and actions.

04Online support
How Allison’s Approaches Work Online
Allison commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.She may also incorporate EMDR-informed techniques for clients dealing with traumatic memories, using structured processing to reduce distress when appropriate. Allison treats choosing an approach as a collaborative decision; she will talk through options and tailor methods to a client's goals, pace, and preferences rather than insisting on one path.
Online sessions offer flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and keep a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing reflection between sessions and can make it easier to fit help into a workday or caregiving schedule. These formats help people access therapy from different locations across Michigan without extra travel.
