About Alison
Alison Solomon is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship trouble, and parenting challenges. She brings nearly three decades of experience and a straightforward, caring style. Parents and individuals can expect clear, direct conversation without judgment.
Sessions focus on practical steps to manage emotions and improve daily life. She works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, compassion fatigue, eating and sleeping problems, and mood conditions including depression and bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
Family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and LGBT-related challenges are part of her practice as well. Alison also addresses ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her approach blends different methods to match what each person needs.
Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around the person’s goals and values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing intense emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports better connection in close relationships.
Alison holds a licensed clinical social worker credential. She offers care in Delaware and draws on long experience working with diverse backgrounds, including families of Holocaust survivors. She speaks English and Hebrew, and she accepts international clients when appropriate.
Therapy with Alison starts with listening, then moves to practical tools and clearer understanding of patterns. She aims to help people recognize how they relate to others and themselves, and to try different steps that can reduce distress and improve relationships.
Approaches and online care that fit family needs
Alison uses Client-Centered Therapy to make the person’s goals and values the center of the work. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions for stress, confidence, and family concerns.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving self-control. DBT can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. Plans can change as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. These options make it easier to fit sessions into family schedules and to maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. Licensed professionals can use these formats to work through relationship patterns, parenting strategies, and coping skills without requiring travel.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
