About Allison
Allison Peck is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her practice on existential questions and practical change. She helps adults and couples clarify values, reduce distress, and find more meaning in relationships and work. Allison brings six years of clinical experience and a background that combines psychology, business, and long-term mindfulness practice.
She uses a mix of approaches to meet real-life struggles. Sessions often include talking through emotions, practicing new communication skills, and learning techniques to manage anxiety and stress.
Background and approach
She aims to help people feel steadier during life transitions like parenting changes, divorce, or career shifts. Allison trained in social work at New York University and holds a Master of Arts in General Psychology from The New School, where she focused on neuroscience and attachment.
Her clinical training informs how she looks at patterns in relationships and the body-mind links that affect mood and behavior. In therapy she blends existential ideas about meaning with concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. That combination supports both insight and action, so clients can notice patterns and try different responses.
She also draws on attachment-based work to address intimacy and commitment issues. Typical sessions include talk therapy and skill-focused work. Allison generally schedules weekly sessions and offers several online formats.
She emphasizes clear goals, practical skills, and learning to tolerate uncertainty while moving toward a clearer life direction.

Online support
How Allison Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Existential therapy helps people name what matters and face big life questions. It focuses on meaning, choice, and how to live with uncertainty, which can be useful for career shifts, parenting changes, and feelings of emptiness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to accept difficult thoughts while taking action toward values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and improving daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats. Video calls allow full conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions.
