Allison Metz, LPCC

Allison Metz is an Ohio LPCC with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, sleep problems, and mood disorders. She also offers support around blended family issues and other life changes.

Allison uses therapy approaches that focus on skills and practical steps. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Sessions tend to focus on concrete tools for coping, communication, and managing strong emotions.

Her background includes private practice, a medical family health center, community agencies, and residential treatment settings. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in community counseling from John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio. Her clinical years include work with people affected by trauma, mood disorders, and postpartum concerns.

In sessions Allison helps people sort priorities, try small changes, and practice new ways of responding. She often uses short exercises and repeated skill practice rather than long lectures. Practical problem solving and steady skills work are common parts of the process.

People who reach out usually want help reducing symptoms, improving communication within the household, or managing the demands of caregiving and blended family life. She works in English and provides care from her Ohio practice.
