About Alison
Alison Silcox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado with 13 years of experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on compassion fatigue and issues such as guilt and shame.
Alison favors clear, practical conversations. She uses methods that help people notice thoughts and patterns, try small changes, and build on what works. Sessions tend to be direct and goal-oriented while remaining attentive to personal values and pace.
Her clinical approaches include cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to steady attention, and motivational interviewing to support change. She may also use solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and trauma-focused work when past events affect present functioning.
Alison tailors the dialogue and treatment plan to each person. That means picking techniques that fit the issue at hand, whether that is learning how to manage anxious thoughts, working through shame, or finding ways to cope with a major life change. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client's priorities shape the work.
Practical matters such as scheduling and costs reflect location and plan. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and people should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Alison uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Alison commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and test the thoughts that contribute to anxiety or guilt and then try practical alternatives. Mindfulness therapy focuses on attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and make it easier to respond rather than react.She also uses motivational interviewing to help clarify what a person wants to change and to build commitment to small steps. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unmotivated to act on goals related to mood, self-esteem, or life transitions. Alison treats choosing an approach as a collaborative decision based on a person's needs and preferences, and she will work with clients to adjust methods as progress is assessed.
The therapist biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Alison will discuss how to structure sessions so they align with everyday routines and goals.
