About Alison
Alison Gamez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Alison offers support in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Her sessions aim to be open and nonjudgmental. She encourages people to talk about what matters to them and to set practical goals. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person's needs.
Background and approach
Alison uses approaches that focus on the person and on clear problem-solving steps. That can mean listening deeply to understand someone’s experience, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, or focusing on small changes that lead to relief. These methods are applied to issues like grief, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes.
She also addresses complex family dynamics, blended family issues, separation and divorce, and addiction-related problems. Sessions may explore topics such as codependency, infidelity, jealousy, and multicultural stressors in straightforward language with concrete action steps. Practical matters like finances, career stress, and life purpose are part of the conversation when clients want them included.
Alison works to help people build coping skills and make steady progress toward clearer daily routines and healthier choices.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Alison uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions focused on each person's concerns. This approach prioritizes listening and understanding so people can feel heard and decide what matters most to work on. It is helpful for issues like grief, relationship strain, and building self-esteem.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or address addictive behaviors.
Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses for targeted change. That method zeroes in on existing strengths and simple, practical steps to move forward when someone wants quick, goal-oriented progress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Alison works together with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and life situation rather than using one fixed style. That collaborative planning helps shape a clear path for sessions and homework between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
