About Alison
Alison Solomon is a licensed clinical social worker with almost three decades of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or strained by life changes. Parents and individuals concerned about attention differences such as ADHD will find practical guidance and steady support.
She works in English and Hebrew and is based in Delaware. Her approach is straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on understanding daily habits, emotions, and relationships.
Background and approach
Alison listens without judgment and gives clear feedback so clients can try new ways of coping. She often uses conversations that help people spot patterns and make small changes that add up. Alison blends different methods to match each person's needs.
She draws on client-centered ideas to follow the client's priorities. She brings in emotion-focused tools when relationship or intimacy issues are central. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when managing strong emotions and coping strategies is the goal.
Over 29 years she has worked with people facing trauma, grief, addiction, and identity-related stress. She also supports those dealing with sleep or eating problems, bipolar disorder, anger, and compassion fatigue. Her work includes family-of-origin and blended family concerns without running family therapy sessions per se.
Clients can expect a collaborative pace and practical steps between sessions. Alison helps people experiment with new habits and reflect on what does and does not help. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy places the person's goals and priorities at the center of work. It means the therapist follows what matters most to the client and supports self-directed change, which helps with stress, self-esteem, and decision-making.Emotionally-focused therapy helps people name and shift patterns in their close relationships. It is useful when intimacy, attachment, or recurring conflicts cause distress and when people want clearer emotional connection.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anxiety, anger, and impulse control.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process where the client's preferences guide choices.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in formats that fit different lifestyles: video calls for full conversations, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, manage shorter check-ins, or avoid being on camera while still getting regular support.
