Allison Peck , LCSW

Allison Peck is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. She brings six years of clinical experience and a background in business and mindfulness to sessions. Allison works with individuals and couples navigating parenting, career changes, and difficult life transitions.

She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. That can mean practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships.

Sessions are conversational and skill-oriented. Allison aims to teach communication strategies, emotion regulation techniques, and ways to get clearer about values and goals. She emphasizes small, doable steps that people can practice 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 notes a long personal practice of mindfulness that informs how she helps others manage stress and stay grounded.

Allison practices in New York and conducts therapy in English. She typically offers weekly talk therapy sessions and uses an integrative, collaborative style to help people get unstuck and move toward clearer choices.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about work or parenting. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape how people connect and react in close relationships; it helps when intimacy, abandonment, or communication problems are central concerns.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Allison will talk with each person about their goals, past experiences, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what feels doable for the client.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let therapists and clients work interactively with visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
