About Alison
Alison Chrun is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship issues, parenting concerns, addiction, trauma and related problems.
Alison uses practical tools rather than jargon. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps that reduce reactivity and improve communication. She mixes mindfulness practices with thinking-focused work so people learn to notice triggers and respond differently.
Her approach balances short-term problem solving and deeper personal work. Cognitive behavioral techniques help challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused ideas are used to set clear goals and track progress from the first sessions.
Mindfulness exercises are woven into session work to build awareness of bodily cues and emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas appear when people want to clarify values and act in line with them, even when feelings are strong.
Alison aims to be straightforward and respectful during sessions. She invites clients to try practical experiments between appointments, then looks at what helped and what did not. That feedback shapes the next steps.
She conducts therapy in English and works from California. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and the exact formats offered.
Approaches and how online sessions are used
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking actions that match those values even when strong feelings appear. It can help with anger that gets in the way of relationships or life goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical skills to interrupt unhelpful patterns such as snapping at others or ruminating. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will collaborate with each client to try tools and notice what helps. If something does not fit, she will adjust methods and set small experiments to compare results so the client can see what works in their daily life. Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats can change. When online sessions are offered, they can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, fit workday breaks around appointments, or avoid travel time. Some sessions may focus on short skill practice or planning between longer meetings, which can help keep momentum while handling everyday demands.Areas of expertise
