About Alison
Alison Chrun is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction, and related concerns listed in her specialties. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from California.
Alison focuses on clear, practical steps rather than long lectures. She uses short-term strategies and mindfulness practices to help people manage intense emotions and day-to-day pressures. She also addresses trauma and emotional abuse with care, and helps people navigate grief, intimacy-related issues, and career stress.
Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, solution-focused techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered methods, and mindfulness. That mix is used to identify concrete goals, try small changes, and track what helps. Conversations often include skill practice, values-based choices, and problem-solving for everyday moments.
People who reach out for help with parenting worries or family-related stress will find focused work on communication, boundaries, and coping with role changes. Alison also addresses issues such as codependency, commitment doubts, control problems, and separation-related concerns in individual sessions.
She offers several ways to connect, including live chats, video sessions, and phone sessions. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Payment uses a cancelable subscription model that varies by location.
Alison aims to collaborate on achievable steps. She checks progress and adjusts methods when something is not helping. For people juggling parenting, work, and personal strain, she focuses on practical tools that fit into everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on actions that reflect what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them, useful for stress, mood issues, and addiction. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.Choosing the right approach is something she does together with clients. Alison will review your concerns, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. The work is collaborative and goal-oriented, with regular checks on progress and small experiments between meetings.
She offers several ways to connect, including video, live phone sessions, and live chat sessions as noted in her practice details. If you need a specific format, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time, which helps people keep consistency while managing family and work demands.
