About

Allison Crotwell, LICSW, brings 23 years of clinical social work experience to her practice in Alabama. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and family difficulties, ADHD and obsessive-compulsive presentations, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life transition challenges. Her practice also addresses related areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Her work is consistently client-centered and grounded in a strengths-based, solutions-focused stance. She draws on multiple evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing to help people identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies that align with their goals.

Allison collaborates with each person to clarify priorities, build skills such as emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, and construct treatment plans that reflect individual values and circumstances. She holds an Alabama clinical social work license and frames care around clear goals and active involvement from those she works with.

Remote sessions using focused, skills-based approaches



Allison integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT is used to explore links among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to practice alternative patterns. DBT offers structured skill development in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. ACT emphasizes identifying values and making choices that increase meaningful contact with those values while learning acceptance-based strategies.

She takes a collaborative approach to remote sessions, tailoring modality selection and exercises to the individual’s stated goals. People who want practical skills for mood and anxiety management, improved relationship communication, or clearer direction during life changes may find this combination aligns with their needs. Sessions may include in-the-moment skill coaching, values clarification, and behavioral experiments adapted for remote formats.

Remote communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how work proceeds and how tools are practiced between meetings.
