Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Alison Grabell, MA, LCSW Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Makin Wellness, providing mental health counseling

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

I work with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, and challenging life transitions. I provide support that’s personalized, non-judgmental, and focused on helping you feel better — not just temporarily, but for the long term.

In sessions, you can expect a mix of compassionate presence and practical tools, space to be yourself, and a style that adapts to your needs. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and person-centered techniques — but most importantly, we’ll work in a way that feels right for you.

My clients often tell me they feel truly heard, supported, and understood during our sessions. They appreciate my calm, nonjudgmental presence and the safe space I provide to explore difficult emotions.

I believe that online therapy should feel like a partnership — we’ll move at your pace, focus on what matters most to you, and build real progress together.

If you’re feeling unsure about starting online therapy, that’s okay — that’s completely normal. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.
