More about Alison
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in Florida with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with many issues including stress, anxiety, and depression. My true passions are assisting individuals in coping with grief and loss and educating caregivers on taking care of their loved ones who suffer from dementia. I use motivational interviewing to work on self-esteem and confidence issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I look forward to supporting and empowering you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Love her
My therapist is responsive and knowledgeable. She extends herself to my needs and I feel comfortable and confident in her abilities to help with the debilitating symptoms of anxiety and depression I’m facing.
Alison has helped me very much through my trauma related to the hurricane and has provided me with the tools to manage my feelings, anxiety, and coping mechanisms on how to move forward and past it all. Alison is educated, experienced, personable and very compassionate. I highly recommend her, and have, to all.
Alison is amazing!!
She is amazing!
Alison is a good listener who is fully present during the conversation and helps guide and direct to move past the hurdles and challenges in our lives. Highly recommend her, and have, to a friend.
Alison has completely changed my life! I’ve been in therapy for quite awhile, with multiple therapists, and they’ve been ok enough. However, I knew from the very first appointment that she was different, and that I was actually going to get somewhere with her. She understands what I need to progress, and straight up asks me what I need if it’s not very clear. Her homework, goals, and consistent communication throughout the week, also helps. She’s a great therapist and human, highly recommend!
She listens and has solutions! Absolutely terrific at her job. You can sense her level of caring. She works for you!
Alison is Great ! I love the help and support and expertise she offers.
