More about ALISON

- LCSW-C
As a Clinician for over a decade helping clients work through life changes, trauma, cognitive functioning, depression and anxiety- I find the most important factors in healing is to address the symptoms, process any underlying struggles and work to gain skills not just to survive -but thrive.
I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work from University of Maryland, with a dual concentrating in Management & Community organizing and Clinical Therapy with Families and Children (graduation 2012). I received my LCSW-C in 2014 and became a certified Supervisor in 2015.
Prior to getting my MSW I worked in Treatment Foster Care, Residential Treatment Centers, in Domestic Violence Shelters, and extensively with the Special Needs population. Since getting my Masters I have worked as school-based clinician helping students working through trauma, homelessness, anxiety, depression and grief. Ive also worked as a school-based clinician providing services and support to students and families with all levels of Autism Spectrum and Asperger's Syndrome. And most recently I have provided direct-care and Executive leadership to an agency that provides support to Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Survivors.
My approach is to provide solution-focused, client-centered support that allows everyone to have a safe space to process their stories and regroup in order to have their most successful life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
