About Alison
Alison Mondares is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family issues, and codependency concerns.
Alison uses clear, practical conversation to help people sort through overwhelming feelings. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness exercises to identify unhelpful patterns and test small changes. Sessions focus on real-life skills like setting limits, managing worry, and improving sleep.
Her client-centered stance means she listens for each person’s priorities and adjusts the pace accordingly. Emotionally focused ideas guide conversations about connection and intimacy, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps when painful thoughts get in the way of valued action. She blends approaches rather than following a single script.
Alison also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, and complex medical situations such as cancer and hospice issues. Practical problem solving and coping strategies are common parts of therapy when life brings sudden change.
She works with concerns that overlap, such as ADHD with anxiety, bipolar mood challenges, or hoarding tied to shame. For parents and caregivers she addresses stress related to parenting and elder care without running family-level therapy sessions.
To begin clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still choose actions that matter to them. It’s useful when worry or self-criticism keeps someone from living the way they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking. This is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace and priorities; it supports clearer self-understanding and decision making.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps the client make practical changes and feel steadier in daily life.
Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Working remotely lets people practice skills in their everyday environments and then bring questions back to the therapist for quick troubleshooting.
