About Allison
Allison Peck is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping adults with stress, anxiety, intimacy concerns, parenting, and career challenges. She uses practical tools and clear conversation to help people feel more able to manage daily strain and relationship tensions. Allison works with individuals and couples building their family to find steadier footing during transitions.
Allison brings six years of clinical practice plus a longer background in business and mindfulness.
Background and approach
She blends evidence-informed methods so sessions move between practical skill work and deeper personal understanding. That mix aims to reduce distress while building clearer goals and habits. In sessions she teaches communication skills, emotion regulation strategies, and ways to set boundaries that fit real life.
She also addresses specific themes like abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family issues, caregiving stress, and divorce or separation. Conversations are grounded and focused on what people can do between meetings. Her training includes a Master of Arts in General Psychology from The New School and a Master of Social Work from New York University.
Allison holds a New York LCSW license and applies that clinical background to day-to-day therapeutic work. Allison typically offers weekly talk therapy and uses an integrative approach that draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, acceptance-based practices, and attachment-informed thinking. She aims to help clients gain clarity, build skills, and move forward with manageable steps.
Approach and access through online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and building small, committed steps toward those values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching skills to notice thoughts and act in line with priorities rather than reacting automatically.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and practices new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a skills-focused strategy one month and a relationship-focused conversation the next, and then adjusting based on what helps.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or quick skill refreshers between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
