About Allison
Allison Braswell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She also pays attention to adoption and foster care concerns, attachment questions, communication problems, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation.
Allison works in a practical, direct way. She helps people name what is getting in the way and then looks for steps that make daily life easier. Sessions often include talking through recent stressors, examining how past experiences affect current choices, and identifying strengths that can be used in small, concrete ways.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, anxiety, and attention difficulties. That can mean learning specific tools for managing stress, practicing different ways of communicating, and trying out new routines that support mood and focus. The approach is action-oriented and focused on what helps in everyday life.
Allison affirms and supports people who identify as LGBTQAI+. She pays attention to life transitions, parenting challenges, and issues that come up for young adults and women. People often come to work on relationships with family of origin, forgiveness, boundaries, and finding a clearer sense of purpose.
Her background as an LCSW in Illinois means she brings social work perspective to practical problems. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are the steps she asks new clients to take.
BHow sessions work
How Allison Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online
Allison draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as short breathing practices, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to reduce overwhelm. These tools aim to make daily routines easier and reduce symptoms that interfere with work and relationships.Another approach focuses on attention and executive skills for people with ADHD. This involves breaking tasks into smaller steps, building simple organizational habits, and testing scheduling strategies that fit the client’s life. The work is about trying small changes and adjusting what helps most.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Allison will listen to a person's goals and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. She frames the choice as a collaborative process and adjusts methods based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
