About Alison
Alison Kimball greets people who are tired of constant stress and strained relationships. She focuses on helping clients who are dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, addictions, mood concerns, and life transitions. Her aim is to create calm, practical conversations that lead to clearer next steps.
Alison is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, holding both Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credentials and bringing 20 years of practice experience.
Background and approach
She draws on straightforward techniques so clients can use what they learn between sessions. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to immediate problems and longer-term coping skills. Her approach centers on listening first and then working together to pick useful strategies.
That may include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing mindfulness to ease overwhelm, or using short solution-focused planning to tackle a pressing issue. Motivational interviewing can help when someone is ready to change habits related to substance use or self-care. Alison also supports people facing family tensions, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiving stress.
She offers ways to understand attachment, set manageable boundaries, and repair communication during conflict. People meet with her by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging when that fits their life. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and building a trusting working relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set their own goals while offering support and guidance for each step.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches simple exercises to reframe unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and stress in daily life.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment with gentle awareness. Short breathing and awareness practices can lower distress and be used when anxiety, anger, or painful memories arise.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on the client's needs and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy here is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, written reflections, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum between appointments.
