Allison Chapple , LCMHC

Allison Chapple, LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor), is a North Carolina therapist with 15 years of clinical experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults under 50. She brings a practical, warm approach shaped by extensive training, including a 900-hour internship completed during graduate studies at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and ongoing continuing education in areas related to mood, eating, and anxiety disorders.

Her practice focuses on integrating mind, body, and emotion to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, eating and body-image issues, self-esteem, relationship and family problems, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and life transitions including divorce and postpartum adjustment. She also works with issues tied to young adult transitions, social anxiety, seasonal mood changes, and pregnancy and childbirth adaptations.

Allison has worked across diverse settings including substance abuse treatment, community mental health, private practice, and a pediatric medical clinic, which contributes to a breadth of practical experience. Her counseling style grows out of person-centered principles inspired by Carl Rogers - emphasizing acceptance, trust, and unconditional positive regard - while she also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Currently she is not accepting new clients, but she remains engaged in professional development and clinical work that supports these specialties and approaches.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Allison draws on evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching acceptance of difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - it is widely used for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation by offering concrete strategies and practice-based skill building. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase coping resources, which can support emotional regulation and body-image concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work Allison offers. She partners with each person to understand goals, preferences, and strengths, and then adapts methods so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Allison is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make scheduling easier. These options help people maintain continuity of care around busy lives, reach therapists from different locations within the same state, and access timely support between sessions when appropriate.
