About Alison
Alison Gamez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Arizona with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship and family concerns, and anger. She also supports people facing career issues, parenting strain, and transitions in life.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens first and then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and finding steps that can reduce tension and improve daily functioning.
Alison uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that feed anger or anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy helps create short-term plans and small, measurable changes that can be tried between sessions.
She has experience addressing blended family issues, codependency, substance use concerns, immigration-related stress, infidelity, narcissism, and other relational problems. Alison offers help in English and Spanish and works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
People who choose to work with her typically focus on practical skills - managing intense feelings, improving communication, and planning next steps after a separation or loss. To begin, she asks about current stressors and together they decide which approach will be most useful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and priorities. Online sessions let the therapist listen and reflect on what matters most, which is useful for concerns like relationship conflict or anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT tools can be taught and practiced, for example tracking triggers and trying new responses between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete steps and small changes. That approach is well suited to remote work because it emphasizes measurable goals and brief experiments to try between sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help the client choose approaches based on goals, current problems, and personal preferences. That selection happens collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick problem needs attention. It also makes it possible to practice techniques in day-to-day settings and then review what worked in the next meeting.
