About Alison

Alison Silcox is a Colorado licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 13 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and major life transitions. She approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to create a personalized path forward rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.

Background and approach

Alison emphasizes collaboration, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to address specific concerns such as motivation, confidence, compassion fatigue, and a wide range of related issues. Her work also addresses areas like attachment and abandonment experiences, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control issues, and financial or life-purpose struggles.

Alison integrates approaches including Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to fit each person's needs. She frames therapy as a supportive partnership and focuses on practical steps clients can take toward greater well-being and clearer direction in their lives.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) looks at internal parts and how they interact, helping clients understand conflicting feelings or behaviors by gently exploring the roles different parts play. This approach can be useful for working through anxiety, self-criticism, and complicated emotional patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for issues like stress, depression, and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alison will work with clients to explore which methods feel most useful, adapting techniques from IFS, CBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing to match goals and preferences. The emphasis is on partnership and ongoing adjustment so the plan fits each person's situation.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging that can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care from different locations. These formats support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to use interactive tools and structured interventions while accommodating varying communication styles and needs.
