About Alison
Alison Silcox helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier and less overwhelming. Alison is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Colorado with 13 years of experience.
She works in a respectful, compassionate way. Conversations and plans are shaped to fit each person's situation. Alison aims to create clear goals and small, doable steps so progress feels real and steady.
How Alison works
Her approach draws on methods that help people notice the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Sessions often include straightforward tools for shifting unhelpful thinking and building new patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm intense feelings and improve focus.
Alison also uses solution-focused and motivational strategies to help people reconnect with what matters to them. For situations tied to trauma, she applies trauma-focused ideas to reduce distress and increase safety in daily life. Treatment is practical and goal-oriented rather than vague.
She has worked across a variety of stressors including compassion fatigue, caregiver strain, chronic pain and illness, and relationship-related concerns like communication problems, attachment and abandonment worries. Alison supports people who are dealing with money stress, midlife transitions, isolation, and struggles with forgiveness, guilt, or shame. Conversations are held in English and shaped around each person's pace and priorities.
The first few sessions focus on what you want to change, how you've tried to cope so far, and a simple plan for the next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Alison often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice and tolerate strong emotions without getting swept away; mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alison will talk with each person about goals, past attempts at change, and personal preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when that helps progress. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
