About Alison

Alison Peterson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 6 years of clinical experience and a primary focus on trauma. She supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the many forms of abuse that can follow trauma, including domestic violence, sexual assault or abuse, religious trauma, injury or illness related trauma, and financial abuse. Her practice also addresses family conflict and LGBT-related concerns, helping clients explore relationship dynamics, identity questions, and communication challenges.

Alison works with a wide range of additional concerns such as attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain or illness, codependency, dissociation, and mood disorders, and she addresses issues that intersect with life transitions like hospice and end-of-life counseling. She brings attention to patterns like obsessions, compulsions, panic attacks, and paranoia while offering support for guilt, shame, and recovery from domestic violence.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental setting where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. Alison has experience working with clients from varied ethnic and religious backgrounds and approaches the start of therapy as a courageous step, partnering with each person to identify goals and pathways toward greater coping and resilience.

Approaches to Healing and Online Support

Alison Peterson draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the lasting effects of abuse, injury, and loss - this approach helps process traumatic memories and reduce the ways trauma disrupts daily life. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that examines the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. For clients who benefit from skills training around emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, she incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to strengthen distress tolerance and communication.



Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alison works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance helps ensure the work aligns with the client’s priorities and pace.



Online sessions offer flexibility in how care is delivered - whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage energy needs, and maintain continuity of care across distances. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and help people stay engaged with the work between sessions.
