Allison Kemble

Allison Kemble is a Missouri-based clinician with eight years of experience supporting people through loss, medical crises, career transitions, and other life changes. She earned her master’s degree in clinical social work from the University of Missouri Columbia in 2012 and practices as a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri.

She began her career as a career counselor working with clients receiving government assistance, providing case management to address barriers such as housing, childcare, and food security to help clients move toward employment. Allison later transitioned into medical social work for a major health system, where she focused on grief counseling, crisis intervention, and acute support for patients and families facing critical, complex, and chronic illnesses.

Her background includes work related to disease management, medication compliance, adjusting to new or chronic diagnoses, situational depression, PTSD, and trauma connected to difficult medical situations for both patients and their loved ones. Allison also has experience supporting clients through hospice and end-of-life transitions and assisting those affected by suicidal ideation.

In session she uses solution-focused, client-centered, and motivational interviewing approaches, meeting each person where they are and tailoring care to individual needs. She combines attentive listening with practical tools and techniques intended to help clients reach goals, manage stress, and develop healthier coping strategies. Allison aims to be accessible to clients, working at each person’s preferred pace and level of engagement and communicating through the methods they find most comfortable.

She looks forward to working with prospective clients who are ready to address grief, stress, career or family challenges, and other concerns.
