About Alison
Alison Gamez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy issues, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Alison uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques tailored to what a person needs right now. She draws on client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She applies cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. Solution-focused strategies help set concrete, short-term goals and track what works.
Her background includes long-term work supporting people through substance use and relationship breakdowns. She also addresses blended family questions, codependency, divorce and separation concerns, domestic violence effects, immigration stress, and multicultural issues. Those topics often come up alongside career, money, or identity worries.
Sessions tend to focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings. That might include small experiments, communication practices, or new ways to handle triggering situations. Progress is checked in regular conversations and adjustments are made together.
Alison encourages people to name what feels most urgent and to start with manageable changes. She asks about current routines and pressures, then helps plan realistic next steps. The practical aim is to reduce daily strain and help people feel more capable at home and work.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Alison uses client-centered therapy to focus on what the person says matters most. That means listening without judgment, reflecting back concerns, and helping clarify priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through relationship tension or parenting stress.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT is practical for anxiety, anger, and habits related to substance use because it breaks problems into manageable parts and tests small behavioral changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. She collaborates on which tools to keep and which to change as progress is reviewed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit therapy into a busy day, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not practical. It can also reduce travel time and let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when needed.
