About Alison
LMSW (Michigan) with 14 years of experience, Alison Hite focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, mood disorders, addiction, and trauma. She works with adults on practical problems like coping with life changes, impulsivity, and grief. Sessions use methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Alison frames sessions around a client-centered relationship. She listens first, then uses straightforward strategies to address symptoms and daily challenges. Exercises can include values-based goal setting, thought records, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practice. Motivational interviewing informs work around substance use and readiness to change.
Her background includes over a decade in mental health and substance use settings in Michigan. That experience informs work with mood disorders, panic, bipolar concerns, and addiction-related problems. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and codependency when those issues affect an individual's wellbeing.
In session she helps people set concrete steps they can try between meetings. That may mean working on self-talk, building small behavioral changes, practicing distress-tolerance techniques, or planning around parenting stresses. The focus is on skills people can apply to daily life.
Alison offers care in English. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How Alison applies 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 those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when worry, avoidance, or life changes get in the way of what matters. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools like thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and panic.Finding the best approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the situation. Sessions can change over time as needs shift, combining ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or other techniques to address current challenges.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins, and making it easier to schedule sessions around work or parenting. It also lets the therapist assign at-home exercises and real-world practice between meetings to support steady progress.
