About Allison

Allison Peck is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and career transitions. She uses clear, practical guidance and skills so people can make change and feel more grounded. Allison draws on her background in business and a long personal mindfulness practice to shape conversations and tools that fit everyday life.

Her approach combines several evidence-informed methods. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach coping skills and shift unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas inform how she pays attention to relationship dynamics and personal values. Allison has six years of clinical experience and a history of working with adults facing mood disorders, trauma, and life adjustments. She trained in psychology and neuroscience at The New School and earned a Master of Social Work from New York University.

Those studies influence how she links brain-based understanding with practical skills. Sessions usually focus on building clarity, learning communication strategies, and developing routines that reduce distress. Allison emphasizes collaboration and education so clients leave with concrete next steps.

Her work often addresses blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the emotional effects of separation. She practices in New York and offers online options for sessions. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at creating small, steady changes that add up over time.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on meaningful goals rather than trying to control every feeling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and habits by teaching practical skills. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that come from patterns in thinking and behavior.

Allison treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try strategies and adjust the plan so the work feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. These options let people fit sessions into busy schedules, continue therapy during life transitions, and use brief check-ins when helpful. The range of formats supports different communication styles and practical needs while keeping the focus on skill-building and steady progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
