About Alison

Alison Chrun, MA (Master of Arts), LMFT, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. She supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting struggles, addiction, stress related to work and life transitions, trauma and emotional abuse, grief, self-esteem, and intimacy-related questions.

Her therapeutic style is warm and empathic, grounded in meeting individuals where they are and allowing them to move at a comfortable pace while also introducing supportive, goal-directed challenges. She integrates solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, humanistic client-centered principles, and a strong emphasis on mindfulness, tailoring each approach to the needs of the person in front of her.

On the text boards her availability is sporadic; she generally responds within 24 hours unless she is scheduled to be on leave and will note that in advance. She tends to be more active in the evenings and can engage in back-and-forth text exchanges at times. She offers Live Chats, Video Sessions, and Live Phone Sessions and will try to accommodate earlier appointments when possible.

Alison recognizes that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming and often represents a first step toward change. She is committed to accompanying people through that process and looks forward to speaking with those who choose to begin.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Alison uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools and steps that are often useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. She also emphasizes mindfulness therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings - an approach that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. In addition, her client-centered foundation means she prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship, listening closely to each person's story and adapting the process to their values and pace.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alison works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video and phone, as well as live chat and text-based messaging, make it easier to connect from home, during work breaks, or around caregiving responsibilities. These options help licensed professionals and therapists maintain continuity of care and meet people where they are, enabling ongoing progress even when schedules or circumstances make in-person visits difficult.
