Alison Siepker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Alison also works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, addiction, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and questions about career and life purpose.
She uses a mix of practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and on small steps that can make daily life more manageable.
Alison draws on experience supporting people affected by adoption and foster care, abandonment, family of origin issues, and divorce or separation. She also addresses communication problems, infidelity, isolation or loneliness, body image, gender dysphoria, and HIV/AIDS related concerns. First responder issues and forgiveness work are additional areas she has handled.
Sessions are pragmatic and collaborative. Alison listens for patterns that keep a person stuck and then helps practice different ways of responding. She will work with each person to set clear, realistic goals and to track progress between meetings.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Alison uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and clarify what matters to them. ACT often focuses on values-based actions and can help with anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT sessions tend to include straightforward exercises and practice tasks that target symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alison will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That plan can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or a lunch break, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also use online appointments to practice skills between sessions and to keep progress steady while life feels busy.
