About Alison
Alison Gamez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 19 years of practice. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. Alison works with people navigating grief, intimacy challenges, parenting stresses, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also addresses codependency and related patterns that make it hard to set boundaries or prioritize personal needs.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that make daily life easier. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going, and Solution-Focused Therapy targets immediate goals and actions.
In a session Alison will ask about specific situations and what the person wants to change. She pays attention to practical patterns like people-pleasing, avoidance, or repeated conflict. Together she and the client look for concrete strategies to try between sessions and then review what helped.
Alison sees issues related to blended families, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance use, immigration stress, infidelity, jealousy, and money worries. She also supports people managing narcissistic or dependent personality dynamics and other personality concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their values and make decisions by focusing on their own concerns and experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is practical for anxiety, low mood, and behavior patterns like drinking or avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to see a therapist who speaks English or Spanish even if they live elsewhere. Ask about available session formats when scheduling so you can pick what fits your routine and technical comfort.
