About Alison
Alison Gamez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 19 years of experience to her work. Alison aims to make early steps into therapy feel manageable and supported.
She offers a straightforward, welcoming style in sessions. Alison creates space for people to talk about difficult feelings and decisions. She emphasizes listening first and then helping each person find practical next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on real-life problems like parenting strain, blended family issues, work stress, or questions about identity and intimacy. Alison draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior. She also uses client-centered techniques to shape the work around each person's priorities.
When addiction or codependency is present, sessions include coping strategies and goal-oriented planning. Solution-focused methods are used to set small, achievable steps so progress can be tracked and adjusted over time. People seeking help can expect a calm, nonjudgmental approach that balances empathy with practical tools.
Alison supports clients through transitions such as divorce, immigration challenges, or career change. Her goal is to help people find clearer direction and better daily functioning in the months after starting therapy.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead to build trust and clarify what matters most. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and make sense of their experience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to shift unhelpful patterns. This approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes because it teaches concrete skills to test and change behaviors.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, immediate steps and practical goals. It is used to build momentum and measure progress with short-term, achievable tasks.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, then tailor the plan together rather than imposing a fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls are helpful when visual connection matters, phone sessions can require less bandwidth, live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into workdays, travel, or busy home lives while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping skills.
