Allison Peck , LCSW

Allison Peck, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), is a clinical psychotherapist who supports adults and couples as they build families, clarify goals, and navigate life transitions with greater ease and resilience. She focuses on easing distress and enhancing well-being across relationships, parenting, work-life balance, and organizational settings while integrating attention to the mind-body connection.

Her work emphasizes education, practical skills, and reflective discussion, empowering people to make thoughtful changes. Clients appreciate her global business background and a mindfulness practice that spans three decades. Trained to consider the organism in its environment, she attends to cultural nuances, complex family dynamics, organizational psychology, and relevant findings from neuroscience when shaping treatment.

Allison offers tools and techniques to strengthen communication, manage stress and anxiety, and support intimacy and parenting challenges, approaching each case with a hopeful, solution-oriented stance. She holds a Master of Arts in General Psychology from The New School (2011), with concentrated study in neuroscience and attachment theory, and earned a Master of Social Work from New York University (2020).

Her clinical work combines psychodynamic insight with cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness-based practices to build greater response flexibility and self-compassion. She generally provides weekly talk therapy sessions rather than ongoing text-only support.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and emotional responses, making it useful for intimacy concerns, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective strategies, which can support mood, anxiety, and coping during career or parenting challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Allison works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapists adjust techniques over time as clients learn, try new skills, and refine their goals.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access care from home, work, or while traveling. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, coordinate around busy schedules, and continue progress even when life is in flux, while working with licensed professionals trained in evidence-informed approaches.
