About Alison
Alison Mondares is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship challenges. She works with adults on issues like self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep problems, and trauma and abuse. Alison brings a calm, steady approach and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She uses short, clear interventions that match a person’s needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions tend to focus on building skills, improving communication, and managing strong emotions.
Background and approach
Clients leave with specific tools to try at home and ways to notice progress over time. Alison draws from several evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused techniques. She explains options in plain language and helps clients pick what fits best for their goals.
Her seven years of practice inform how she blends these methods for each situation. People often come for help with life transitions, caregiving strain, body image concerns, or co-occurring mood issues like bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with end-of-life and hospice related stress, cancer caregiving, or complicated family dynamics.
Alison pays attention to practical barriers like sleep and daily routines. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works within a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and schedules are set through the site’s matching process.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Alison commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice their values, accept difficult feelings, and take meaningful action even when emotions are strong.She treats approach selection as a joint process. During early sessions she will talk with the client about goals, try a few strategies, and adjust based on what feels useful. The goal is to find methods that match a person’s life and preferences rather than forcing a single model.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper emotional work, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief coaching-style support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try out techniques in everyday settings.
