About Alison
Alison Kimball is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life stressors. She focuses on practical ways to reduce anger, anxiety, and stress while supporting improvements in relationships and parenting. Alison aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.
Her approach begins by creating a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to say what they are feeling. She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps identify small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals so progress can be tracked week to week. Alison uses techniques drawn from Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and build trusting collaboration. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills.
Mindfulness-based methods are woven into sessions to help with emotional regulation and staying present. Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, bipolar conditions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses family-related stresses such as blended families, caregiver strain, and communication problems.
Sessions are offered in English and she practices in Florida. Alison encourages people who feel overwhelmed by anger or life changes to consider a few initial sessions to see how practical strategies can help.

Practical approaches for remote therapy
Alison uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s concerns and build collaboration in sessions. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can set their own goals. Client-centered work helps when someone needs space to talk through emotions before trying techniques.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that fuel anger or anxiety. CBT involves breaking problems into small steps, trying new responses, and checking what works. This approach is useful for anger, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alison will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person’s goals and preferences. She aims to collaborate on a plan that fits the client’s needs and pace.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility so therapy can happen when and how it fits into daily routines.
