About Alyson
Alyson Storey is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also supports concerns like anxiety, mood struggles, loneliness, and money and financial issues.
Alyson centers sessions on listening and building trust. She uses reflection and gentle guidance to help people notice patterns that feel stuck. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between sessions and clearer ways to set and reach goals.
She pays attention to how attachment, communication, and control issues show up in everyday life. Alyson works with people facing divorce or separation, feelings of guilt or shame, and questions about life purpose or midlife transitions. She also addresses social anxiety and women's issues when they affect daily functioning.
Alyson believes clients are the experts on their own lives. Her role is to offer a perspective that helps people find options they may have missed. Sessions are paced to each person's needs, with space for both problem solving and emotional processing.
Many people come for focused work on a specific problem, like improving communication or coping with loss. Others set broader goals around self-love, mood regulation, or financial stress. Alyson aims to make the first step easier and to help clients build momentum toward clearer outcomes.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Alyson works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage worry and improve relationships. One common approach she uses helps people recognize and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns so they can feel less stuck and make clearer choices. Another approach centers on attachment and communication, helping people notice how early relationships shape reactions and learn better ways to connect in day-to-day interactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alyson will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. If something doesn’t feel helpful, she will adjust the plan so the work stays relevant and practical.
