Alison Silcox

Alison Silcox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 13 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression, motivation problems, and coping with life changes. Alison also focuses on compassion fatigue and issues such as attachment, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and questions about life purpose.

She keeps sessions straightforward and goal oriented. Conversations aim to identify what feels most urgent and what practical steps are possible now. Alison uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral shifts.

Her approach also borrows solution-focused questions and motivational interviewing to clarify what matters and to strengthen momentum. When trauma is part of the picture she uses trauma-informed methods to reduce distress and increase the ability to manage strong emotions. She explains options in plain terms and involves clients in choosing the next steps.

Alison sees therapy as collaborative problem-solving rather than abstract analysis. Sessions can include practice exercises, short homework, or focused conversations about values, decisions, and everyday routines. She often helps people break big problems into manageable tasks and test what works.

Many people come with a specific life change or a vague sense of being stuck. Alison helps people map choices, cope with grief or loss, and revisit priorities so they can make clearer decisions about work, relationships, and finances.

Online approaches and how they fit day-to-day life

Alison frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness work in sessions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness practice focuses on simple attention skills and grounding techniques to help manage stress and increase awareness of habits.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set concrete short-term goals. Both approaches prioritize small, practical steps and clear next actions so progress can be measured between sessions. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; Alison will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling and format details during the matching questionnaire and the first session so practical arrangements align with daily life.
