About Alison

Alison Hite is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 14 years of experience supporting people facing mental health and substance use challenges. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting and relationship difficulties, autism and ADHD, addiction issues, trauma and grief, and mood disorders. Her background includes both individual and family-focused care, helping people navigate life changes, rebuild communication, and manage symptoms like panic, impulsivity, and low self-esteem.

Her counseling style centers on building a warm, client-centered relationship in which the person’s goals guide the work. She blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with acceptance and mindfulness-informed techniques and draws on humanistic, solution-focused, and motivational approaches when appropriate. Treatment is tailored to each person - Alison collaborates with clients to create a plan that fits their needs, preferences, and circumstances. Whether addressing stress, parenting challenges, addiction, or trauma, she aims to offer practical tools and supportive guidance to help clients move toward more satisfying and manageable lives.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Alison draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other concerns, offering practical skills for symptom management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth; this approach is often combined with skills-based work to address issues like parenting, relationship challenges, and self-esteem.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Alison works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match each person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and to maintain continuity of support across changing schedules and circumstances.
