About Allison

Allison Palazzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 19 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can take to manage problems and move forward.

Allison uses straightforward, solution-oriented work. She helps people identify roadblocks and develop concrete strategies to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Topics she commonly addresses include coping with loss, substance and alcohol concerns, communication and commitment issues, and challenges tied to ADHD or compassion fatigue.

Her practice also covers concerns such as body image, codependency, blended family issues, infidelity, and isolation. She pays attention to how career stress and family roles affect mood and relationships. The emphasis is on clear goals and measurable progress rather than abstract theory.

Sessions tend to center on practical problem solving, skill building, and talking through patterns that keep people stuck. Allison encourages regular check-ins on how strategies are working and adjusts plans based on results. People meet to work on communication, set boundaries, manage cravings or repetitive thoughts, and plan next steps.

For someone juggling work, family, or recovery demands, her approach aims to make therapy fit into everyday life. Prospective clients in New York who speak English can follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

BHow sessions work

How Allison Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Allison draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and strategies. One common approach is behavioral skills work, which breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical coping tools for anxiety, cravings, or mood challenges. Another useful approach is problem-solving and communication work, which helps people map recurring patterns, practice new responses, and repair or set boundaries in relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Allison treats the choice of methods as collaborative. She will review what you want to change, try approaches that fit your goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most in weekly check-ins.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not detailed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins around work or caregiving. They also allow for simpler video or phone conversations when bandwidth or a shorter meeting is needed. If you want to know which session formats are currently offered, check the booking flow or ask during the matching questionnaire.
