About Alison
Alison Gamez is an LPC licensed in Arizona with 19 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and challenges tied to life changes. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and she accepts international clients.
Alison uses a practical, problem-focused style. She listens for unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then works with clients to try different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods.
In session she encourages people to name specific problems and set short-term goals. Work often includes noticing thought patterns, testing small behavior changes, and reviewing what worked. This keeps sessions concrete and action oriented.
She has particular experience with addictions, LGBTQ+ concerns, blended family issues, and domestic violence related problems. Other areas she addresses include grief, intimacy issues, parenting and financial stressors. Alison also supports people dealing with immigration concerns and multicultural challenges.
Her day-to-day practice emphasizes clear steps and measurable progress. People who prefer structured sessions with practical tools will find that approach familiar. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
How Alison applies CBT and related methods online
Alison draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often focus on specific problems like anxiety, addictive behaviors, or low self-esteem and use step-by-step exercises to change how someone responds to stress.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their own goals. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term, achievable steps and to track small wins between sessions. These approaches aim to keep work practical and oriented toward immediate problems.
Choosing the best method is a collaborative process. Alison reviews needs, goals, and preferences with each person and adjusts strategies as progress is reviewed. That means the plan can shift if a different approach seems more helpful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, use shorter check-ins during work breaks, or reduce the need to be on camera depending on the available format. Many licensed professionals find that structured CBT work and solution-focused tasks adapt well to remote sessions, but confirm specific session types when you arrange the first appointment.
