Welcome, I'm really glad you're here! My name is Alison and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in mental health throughout a variety of settings with adult clients. For my individual practice, I approach therapy as a collaboration between myself and the individual. Without judgement, I strive to create a space for honest dialogue meant to support individuals in understanding the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behavior. My intention as a therapist is to help you feel comfortable, heard, validated, and empowered. I aim to support you in identifying personal goals and taking manageable steps towards achievement. I offer conversation that is compassionate and authentic with a side of humor. It can be hard out there- taking the step to seek out support takes courage. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Alison is wonderful. She is understanding and listens so well. I have 100 percent trust in her which is all you can ask for.
Allison is a GIFT. She is consistent, wise, friendly, thoughtful, and affirming. She gives me all the space and time I need to work through my issues and responds with nothing but wise encouragement. I've had a lot of bad-to-meh experiences with counselors, but finally—FINALLY—feel like I'm getting the help I need with Allison.
Alison has helped me through past trauma that has haunted me for over a decade, to learn to put shame behind me and to take a more active roll in keeping my mental and emotional health better.
Alison was very helpful for me. She strikes a perfect balance between friendly support and professional expertise. I highly recommend her!
Alison is personable and professional. She understands my concerns and offers a great balance of suggestions with encouragement for me to think through things myself. I always look forward to my sessions with Alison. I am very happy with Alison and the flexibility of Better Help.
Alison is a genuine person and is here to help. I was nervous about how a session would go and I wasn't sure how comfortable I would be talking to a stranger about my personal life. After a few sessions though, I can say that I found it extremely easy to open up and talk about my issues and I am on the way to finding solutions.
Alison is a friendly, easygoing, and understanding therapist. She has listened patiently to my issues and taken the time to make sense out of them in a skillful and logical manner, whilst always being gentle. She evidently knows what she is talking about and has a knack of finding the perspective that I am missing. I am grateful to have been matched with her!
Alison has been incredibly kind and helpful with her support. She's also made it easy for me to learn the ropes of this type of service. I appreciate her professionalism and ability to listen to a problem and then respond with resources and positivity.
I would highly recommend Alison Mace. I really feel like she understands exactly what my concerns are and what I would like to work on. She helps me understand things from a perspective that I don’t always see things, which is extremely helpful. She provides me with the tools, information and knowledge that I need.
I know it's still early after one session, though I highly recommend Alison as a knowledgable and comfortable professional to discuss with.
