About Alison
Alison Gamez is a licensed professional counselor with 19 years of experience supporting people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
Background and approach
She also addresses parenting challenges, self-esteem, anger, career questions, and life transitions, along with specialized areas such as blended family dynamics, codependency, divorce and separation, substance concerns, immigration issues, infidelity, jealousy, and multicultural matters. Alison practices in Arizona and offers services in both English and Spanish.
Her style emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental setting where clients can explore thoughts and emotions honestly. She draws on client-centered principles to build trust and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns that contribute to distress.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set practical, achievable goals and to help clients move toward concrete change. Alison frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to support each person as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Clients seeking flexible formats can access sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and therapist availability, and services operate via a subscription model that may be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online work and progress
Alison integrates a few practical therapeutic approaches to support clients in online settings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and addiction-related patterns. Client-Centered Therapy places emphasis on empathy, active listening, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and can explore values, emotions, and choices. Solution-Focused Therapy targets immediate, achievable goals and helps clients identify strengths and small steps that produce meaningful change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alison collaborates with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what feels most useful, adapting methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access to care from different locations. Video calls recreate face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a convenient alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections, or times when real-time conversation feels difficult. These options help clients maintain continuity of care while accommodating work, family, and travel demands.
