About Alison
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with eight years of clinical experience. Alison Chrun helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and parenting strains. She also works with people facing trauma and emotional abuse, career pressure, compassion fatigue, and issues around sexuality and identity.
Alison uses practical, goal-focused work grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions typically combine short-term problem solving with skill practice, thought work, and mindful noticing. She emphasizes straightforward steps people can use day to day to manage symptoms and handle difficult moments.
In sessions she balances listening with gentle challenge. Conversations often move between exploring what matters to the person and trying small behavioral changes. Treatment can include identifying patterns, testing new responses, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Alison has experience helping people with codependency, communication problems, control issues, commitment doubts, and separation or divorce concerns. She also addresses fertility-related stress, postpartum depression, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
People meet with Alison to work on specific problems and to develop longer-term coping skills. She writes that she can engage in back-and-forth text exchanges at times and that she is more active on messaging in the evenings. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Alison applies therapeutic approaches in remote sessions
Alison commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. This can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to move forward. CBT targets unhelpful thought patterns and teaches specific skills for managing mood and behavior, which is useful for stress, addiction-related cravings, and anger management.She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused elements to keep sessions practical. That means the therapist listens with attention, asks questions that highlight strengths, and helps people set short-term, achievable goals. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative: she will work with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what works for them.
If you are considering remote work with her, confirm the available session formats before booking. The original biography indicates live chats, video sessions, and live phone sessions at times, and also mentions evening messaging activity. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency while trying different methods and building everyday skills.
