Alison Durante

Options for remote therapy and collaborative planning

Alison's profile does not list specific named clinical approaches. Instead she emphasizes a client-centered way of working that begins with tailoring dialog and a treatment plan to each person's concerns. This means sessions focus on the issues the client brings, such as stress, anxiety, parenting matters, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and on shaping goals that reflect those priorities. Two consistent elements of her practice are collaborative planning and respectful, sensitive engagement. Collaborative planning refers to working together to set goals, choose strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Respectful, sensitive engagement means conversations are shaped to the client's pace and preferences, including attention to communication problems, forgiveness work, and developing self-love. Alison offers remote sessions that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to choose the mode of conversation that feels most comfortable and convenient while keeping focus on the collaborative nature of the work and the specific issues they want to address.
