About Alison
Alison Mace is a Licensed Master Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. She meets adults where they are and focuses on practical steps people can take right now. Alison aims to make sessions straightforward and down-to-earth.
She wants clients to feel heard and respected. Alison treats a wide range of issues including depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and body image struggles.
Background and approach
She also supports people living with mood disorders, obsessive thoughts or compulsions, panic attacks, and challenges around sexuality and self-esteem. Her practice includes attention to compassion fatigue and the strain of major life changes. Her approach is collaborative.
She helps people see how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. That understanding guides small, manageable goals. Sessions are conversational and often include direct strategies people can try between meetings.
Alison draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach practical skills for emotional regulation and coping. She also uses Existential and Psychodynamic ideas to help people reflect on meaning, values, and long-standing patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps when making change feels especially hard.
With five years of experience in mental health, Alison brings a mix of empathy and candidness to sessions. She keeps a light touch when it helps and stays focused on clear progress. She works from Michigan and conducts sessions in English.

How Alison’s approaches translate to online therapy
Alison commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people learn concrete skills. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different, realistic ways of thinking and acting; it helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce intense reactions and improve communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alison listens to the issues, goals, and everyday challenges a person brings. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people hold fuller conversations and use visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when typed communication feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
