Alison Solomon, LCSW

Alison Solomon is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and shifts in self-esteem. She works with clients who want a straightforward, nonjudgmental space to talk and make practical changes. Sessions are geared toward understanding what is happening now and finding steps that fit daily life.

Alison takes a direct but caring approach. She listens closely and offers honest feedback. Conversations focus on patterns in relationships, reactions to stress or grief, and the small choices that add up to bigger change.

Her work draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs. That can mean exploring emotions in depth, practicing skills to manage intense feelings, or using focused conversations to build motivation for change. The mix depends on what the person wants to work on and what helps them make progress.

Alison has long experience supporting people who feel different because of sexuality, physical ability, or cultural background. She also has a history of working with families of Holocaust survivors and with family relationship issues. Her approach aims to keep clients feeling respected while moving toward clearer choices and better functioning.

Clients can expect practical direction and compassion during sessions. Alison helps people notice old patterns, test new behaviors, and build clearer communication with others. Her goal is to walk alongside clients as they sort through problems and find workable next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Alison uses client-centered methods that focus on the client's perspective, helping people feel heard and guiding conversations based on their priorities. That approach helps with stress, relationship worries, and self-esteem by centering what matters most to the person.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT-style skill-building can be useful for anger, anxiety, mood swings, and coping with cravings or urges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to identify and reshape negative interaction patterns in relationships by naming emotions and practicing new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She may combine listening, skill practice, and focused conversations so clients can try different ways of responding between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for more frequent brief check-ins when useful. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help people apply skills in everyday life without requiring a different routine.
