Allison Peck , LCSW

Allison Peck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings six years of clinical experience supporting adults and couples as they navigate relationships, parenting, career change, and life transitions. She combines education, practical skills, and a long-standing mindfulness practice to help reduce distress and increase overall well-being.

With graduate training in psychology and social work, Allison earned a Master of Arts in General Psychology from The New School in 2011 with a focus on neuroscience and attachment theory, and a Master of Social Work from New York University in 2020. Her background includes work informed by organizational psychology and a global business perspective, which she integrates with attention to family dynamics and cultural nuance.

Her clinical work addresses mood disorders, trauma, adjustment difficulties, career and life transitions, and relationship challenges across the adult lifespan. Allison uses an integrative approach that blends psychodynamic insight with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, dialectical behavior therapy skills, acceptance and mindfulness-based tools, and attachment-focused understanding to cultivate flexibility, self-compassion, and clearer communication.

She emphasizes education and skill-building so individuals and couples can develop greater clarity and vision for their lives, relationships, and parenting roles. Allison holds the LCSW credential, which denotes a licensed clinical social worker qualified to provide psychotherapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online session options

Allison Peck draws from evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person or couple. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that developed in early caregiving relationships and helps people improve emotional connection and intimacy in adult relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to foster self-understanding and personal growth - it is often helpful for building self-compassion and communication skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Allison collaborates with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the work remains practical and client-centered.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging when appropriate. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity during transitions or scheduling challenges.
