About Alison
Alison Gamez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 19 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, family conflict, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses parenting challenges, career concerns, and major life changes, including codependency and blended family tensions.
Her style is straightforward and warm. She aims to create an open space where people can name feelings and worries without judgment. Sessions focus on clear steps and honest conversation rather than labels or pressure.
Alison uses approaches that help people notice patterns, test practical changes, and build on their own strengths. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when addressing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused tools help set small, doable goals between sessions.
She works with multicultural concerns and immigration-related stressors, and brings experience with domestic violence, substance issues, infidelity, and financial pressures. Alison also supports those navigating personality-related challenges such as dependency and narcissistic dynamics.
Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish and Alison is available to international clients. She encourages people to take the first step toward a calmer, more manageable life and offers practical guidance as part of that process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alison uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person, focusing on listening, validation, and understanding a person’s goals. This approach helps clients feel heard and shapes the rest of the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework that can be done between sessions. Solution-focused therapy looks for small, achievable changes and builds momentum by setting clear, short-term goals.Choosing a way of working is collaborative. Alison will talk with each client about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which approaches might help most. That plan can change as therapy progresses, and she checks in regularly to make adjustments together.
Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life because they remove travel time and allow appointments during breaks or between activities. Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered. Online work can support focused skill practice, quick check-ins, and structured goal-setting that align with the CBT and solution-focused tools Alison uses.
