Alison Silcox , LPC

Alison Silcox is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes, while also supporting those experiencing compassion fatigue. Her LPC credential indicates formal training and licensure to provide mental health counseling in Colorado.

Alison approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual circumstances. She works with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication difficulties, control struggles, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, midlife transitions, and money or financial stress.

She emphasizes collaborative care, tailoring interventions to a person’s needs and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution. Alison recognizes that reaching out for support takes courage and aims to provide steady, practical guidance throughout the process so individuals can move toward greater well-being and clarity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alison commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and related behaviors. CBT is practical and goal oriented, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy is another frequent approach, teaching gentle attention to present-moment experience and helping reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and emotions. This approach can support coping with chronic stress, pain, and emotional overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, which can be helpful when addressing habits, life transitions, or when finding direction feels difficult.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Alison works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support from home, during breaks, or while managing caregiving and work responsibilities. These options can help maintain consistency in care and make scheduling more adaptable to a person’s life.
