About Alyson
Alyson Storey is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 20 years of experience helping people facing relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and major life changes. She focuses on everyday problems that leave people feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
Alyson listens first and asks clear questions to understand what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She uses reflection and gentle guidance to help clients see patterns that get in the way. Work in sessions often includes practicing new communication habits and testing small changes between meetings. She pays attention to attachment and how early relationship patterns shape current behavior.
That perspective helps with communication problems, control issues, and struggles after divorce or separation. Alyson also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, or isolation. Sessions aim to break big problems into manageable steps.
Clients often set short-term goals around mood, relationships, or daily routines. Alyson helps track progress and adjust plans when needed. Alyson brings two decades of experience to work with women's issues, social anxiety, parenting challenges, and midlife concerns.
She practices in Illinois as an LCPC and works with people who want down-to-earth help for real-life problems. Starting is simple: she encourages a first conversation to map out goals and a practical plan. The focus is on what can be tried now, with follow-up to refine what helps most.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Alyson often draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and coping skills. One approach targets attachment patterns by helping people notice how early relationship habits show up now and by practicing new ways of relating. This helps with communication problems and feelings of isolation. Another approach emphasizes behavioral and coping strategies - identifying small, practical changes to daily routines and testing them between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alyson will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust what they do together based on what feels helpful. She treats the choice of method as flexible rather than fixed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when nonverbal cues matter, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simpler to check in between sessions or fit brief work into a busy day. These formats make ongoing practice and follow-up more convenient for people juggling parenting, work, and life changes.
