About Alison

Alison Silcox is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She works with those facing compassion fatigue and common struggles like feeling isolated or stuck. Her tone is respectful and down-to-earth, and she aims to make first steps feel less overwhelming.

Alison adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs instead of using one fixed approach. She draws on mindfulness practices to bring attention to the present moment and on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools to clarify what someone wants and map realistic next steps.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Alison listens to what matters most, then helps set short-term goals and simple exercises to try between meetings. People often work on coping skills for daily stress, rebuilding confidence, or adjusting after major life events.

With 13 years of experience, she balances gentle support with clear problem-solving. Alison emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people move toward more satisfying routines and relationships.

If you are thinking about starting therapy, she asks questions about your needs and tailors the work to your pace. The aim is steady progress you can notice in everyday life.

How Alison’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice present-moment experience in small, manageable steps. It often involves breathing practices and body-focused awareness to reduce reactivity and ease stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that get in the way. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck by clarifying their own reasons to change and building small, doable plans.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alison collaborates with each person to find what fits their goals and preferences. She will listen to your concerns, offer options, and adjust methods based on what helps most in real life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins during a work break. Some approaches, like short solution-focused meetings or CBT skill practice, adapt well to remote sessions and can be used to support steady progress between meetings.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
