About Alison
Alison Gamez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 19 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Alison focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. She helps people talk through relationship and family conflicts, LGBTQ+ related concerns, and problems that come after separation or immigration. She also supports those coping with grief, work stress, money worries, and questions about life purpose.
Her style draws from client-centered work, which keeps the person’s perspective central. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors. Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable steps and track progress.
In sessions Alison encourages direct talk about what’s getting in the way. She aims for concrete strategies people can try between meetings. The emphasis is on manageable changes rather than long theoretical discussions.
Alison has particular experience addressing blended family issues, codependency, addiction, infidelity, jealousy, and multicultural concerns. She also works with people facing personality disorder features and domestic violence histories, focusing on coping and safety planning when needed.
How sessions work
How Alison brings therapy approaches into remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s experience to make sure their concerns guide the work. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and clarifies what matters most to them.CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and stress because it targets patterns that maintain reactive behavior and teaches specific skills to change them.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and measurable progress. It helps people try short experiments between sessions and notice what works quickly for everyday problems.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Alison will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. The first sessions are often about identifying triggers, setting priorities, and choosing which techniques to try.
Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the exact online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short conversation is helpful. It also makes sessions possible for people living outside Arizona or for those who prefer working with a bilingual therapist.
