Alison Solomon , LCSW

Alison Solomon is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of practice. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing major life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, trauma, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns.

Her approach is warm and direct. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to set clear goals. People say she is caring and nonjudgmental while also honest about what might help next.

In sessions she uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. That can mean exploring past patterns to understand current feelings, building skills to manage intense emotions, or focusing on practical steps to reach short-term goals. She adjusts the work as people learn and change.

Alison brings experience supporting people through family conflict, caregiver stress, fertility and aging concerns, and the aftermath of loss or disaster. She also addresses sleep and eating difficulties, attention concerns, mood disorders, and codependency issues.

She offers talks in English and Hebrew and works with people in Delaware and beyond. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions. The goal is to create steady progress, one step at a time.

How Alison’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. The therapist focuses on understanding your experience and building a trusting relationship, which can help with low self-esteem, grief, and identity concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It offers tools for coping with anxiety, anger, and self-destructive urges in clear, repeatable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alison will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying skill-building, exploring past patterns, or focusing on short-term solutions and then adjusting as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, track progress, or use shorter communications during a busy day. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
