Alison Crane, LCSW

Alison Crane is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults and families through a wide range of life transitions and mental health challenges. She brings a warm, supportive, and interactive counseling style that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion without judgment. Her practice includes extensive work with older adults and their families as they navigate changes associated with aging and end-of-life concerns, along with experience supporting caregivers through stress and role transitions.

She also supports adults moving from college or the family home into new phases of life, and those coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, and persistent mental health concerns. Alison blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with solution-focused strategies to help clients identify practical steps forward while building on existing strengths. Sessions emphasize collaboration - clients and therapist work together to set goals and develop skills that fit each person’s life and priorities.

Alison’s areas of focus include stress, grief, parenting, relationships, family dynamics, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Additional attention is given to geriatric and hospice-related counseling, caregiver stress, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. As a licensed clinician, she aims to empower people to clarify their goals and move toward a more balanced and resilient way of living.
