About Allison

Allison Kemble offers practical, down-to-earth support using approaches that focus on values, present moment awareness, and client collaboration. She is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in Missouri and brings eight years of experience supporting people through tough life moments. She began her career as a career counselor helping people access housing, childcare, and employment supports.

That work led her into medical social work, where she provided grief counseling and crisis support to patients and families facing serious and chronic illnesses.

Background and approach

Those roles shaped the way she balances problem-solving with emotional care. In sessions she listens first and moves at each person’s pace. Allison uses solution-focused, client-centered, and motivational interviewing strategies to identify small, useful steps.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness when clients want to work on values, acceptance, and staying grounded. She has experience with grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, trauma related to medical events, and suicidal ideation. She also helps people with anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, self-esteem, parenting concerns, career transitions, and ADHD-related struggles.

Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, cancer, and chronic pain and disability. Allison offers flexible communication options and aims to match tools to each person's goals. She works collaboratively to build coping skills, clarify priorities, and create steps that fit daily life.

How Allison’s approaches work online

Allison uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people handle painful feelings and move toward what matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small actions toward them even when feelings are difficult. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping goals from the client’s perspective. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple skills to notice thoughts and sensations so they interrupt life less and choices become clearer.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Allison will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. Sessions often blend tools - for example pairing brief solution-focused steps with mindfulness practices - so the plan fits the person’s rhythm and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video helps maintain face-to-face connection, phone calls can be quicker check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, live chat allows written back-and-forth in real time, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles.
