About Allison
Allison Peck is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who centers her practice on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside integrative methods to help adults navigate stress, anxiety, intimacy challenges, parenting, career concerns, and coaching goals.
Background and approach
Drawing on six years of clinical experience and a background in organizational psychology and mindfulness, she emphasizes practical skills, psychoeducation, and clear treatment planning to reduce distress during life transitions and relationship shifts. Her approach blends CBT techniques with acceptance-based and attachment-informed perspectives, as well as elements of dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered care.
Allison aims to cultivate response flexibility, communication skills, and greater self-compassion, offering tools tailored to each person’s context. She integrates an understanding of family dynamics, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and other relational concerns into collaborative work.
Based in New York, Allison brings training in neuroscience and attachment theory to brief and ongoing therapy. She supports adults dealing with abandonment, co-morbidity, codependency, dissociation, divorce and separation, emptiness, and related challenges, framing treatment as an educational and skills-based process that fosters clarity and vision.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve functioning; it is useful for anxiety, stress, relationship patterns, and practical problem-solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and accepting difficult internal experiences while building committed steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with avoidance, uncertainty, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns and how early and current connections shape emotional responses, often assisting with intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and codependency.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, review what methods fit best, and adapt techniques based on personal needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single method from the start.
Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for fitting therapy into busy lives. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during transitions, balance work and caregiving responsibilities, and access regular skills coaching and check-ins on a schedule that suits each client.
