Alison Gamez, LPC

Alison Gamez is a licensed professional counselor in Arizona with 19 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, relationship strain, and jealousy. She speaks English and Spanish and has worked with clients facing multicultural and immigration concerns. She emphasizes a nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about what worries them.

Alison focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes and to rebuild confidence after painful experiences. She draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and shape sessions around each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns.

Solution-focused techniques help set clear, short-term goals so progress can be felt between meetings. Sessions often include simple exercises and real-world steps to practice. Alison encourages small, steady changes that fit into daily life.

Her work includes supporting people dealing with family problems, blended family dynamics, codependency, and issues arising from divorce or separation. She also has experience with substance use concerns and domestic violence survivors, and offers guidance around intimacy and parenting stresses.

Alison invites people to take a practical approach to therapy: talk about what is hardest right now, try one new strategy, and measure how it goes. She aims to support clients in building tools they can use long after sessions end.

How Alison’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports them in naming what matters most and what feels hard. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes to test new beliefs. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and habit patterns tied to addiction or anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with clients to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not listed in the biography. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into busy lives because sessions can be easier to schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discussing goals and using CBT or solution-focused exercises can be effective in remote sessions, and the therapist will help match the format and pace to the client's routine and comfort.
