Allison Palazzo , LCSW

Allison Palazzo offers a steady, solution-focused approach to therapy that emphasizes support and respect for each person's journey. She creates a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore the obstacles that keep them from living the life they want, and she partners with them to identify practical steps forward. Allison is licensed in New York and brings more than 15 years of professional experience to her practice.

She has worked with people coping with stress and anxiety, families navigating conflict, couples facing relationship challenges, and individuals recovering from addiction. She also assists clients processing major life transitions and those working through grief and loss. By combining direct, goal-oriented work with compassionate support, she helps clients develop tools to manage difficult emotions and move toward greater well-being.

Allison understands that reaching out for help takes courage, and she views therapy as a collaborative process. She aims to empower clients to build resilience, clarify values and priorities, and take practical steps toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Allison draws on evidence-based techniques that emphasize practical skills and clear goals. One common focus is skill-building work for stress and anxiety - this involves identifying unhelpful thinking and learning coping strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on relational and family-focused strategies - this work helps people improve communication, address conflict, and strengthen connections within families and couples. For addiction-related challenges, Allison uses structured, behavior-focused methods that support recovery through planning, coping skills, and relapse prevention techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Allison works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so therapy stays aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care around other commitments. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow people to participate from home or work, and can support ongoing progress through a mix of real-time sessions and between-session messaging.
