Alison Solomon , LCSW

Alison Solomon brings 29 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds who are facing emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. She has worked with individuals who feel different because of their sexuality, physical abilities, ethnicity, or other aspects of identity, and with those who want a space free from judgment. Her practice also includes work with families of Holocaust survivors and with couples and family relationships that are strained or in transition.

Clients report finding her caring and nonjudgmental, and they note that she is honest and direct in sessions. Alison combines steady support with clear guidance, walking alongside people as they explore personal patterns, improve interactions with others, and develop practical coping strategies. She aims to help clients learn more about themselves and how they relate to the world, offering a balance of empathy and purposeful direction to address both immediate concerns and longer-term growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Treatment Options

Alison draws from client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people feel listened to while they explore their values and goals; it is useful for stress, self-esteem, and life changes. DBT offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing self-destructive behaviors, making it helpful for anxiety, depression, and emotion regulation difficulties. EFT focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships, which can strengthen attachment and improve communication between partners.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alison works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Alison is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home, while still receiving skilled support from a licensed professional who can tailor the approach to each individual's situation.
