Alison Grabell | Makin Wellness Online Therapy

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.

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. I’m here when you’re ready. Call or email to book your first session — I’d be honored to support you.
