About Allison
Allison Van Da Griff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She brings seven years of professional experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low mood, or relationship and intimacy concerns. Allison speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps someone can use right away.
Allison believes clients know their own stories and strengths. She helps people build on those strengths to face shame, guilt, or isolation.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to body image, self-esteem, and women's issues in everyday life. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Her approach mixes several methods so sessions match the person's needs.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is offered to name and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Allison also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship concerns come up and uses Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused tools as needed.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Allison helps people break problems into small, manageable steps and track progress between meetings. She encourages practical coping skills that fit daily life and reduces overwhelm.
People who reach out can expect calm, direct support and a focus on what can change now. Allison aims to make therapy feel useful from the start and to help clients build confidence for the challenges ahead.

Online support
Approaches for online change and connection
Allison commonly uses the Gottman Method to address relationship and communication patterns; this approach focuses on practical exercises that improve interaction and rebuild trust. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening, reflection, and helping people feel understood so they can make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is included to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood.Picking the right approach is part of the work Allison does with each person. She will talk about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on how the client responds. That collaboration helps find methods that feel useful and fit the client's preferences and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing each other. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, coping reminders, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity between sessions.
