Background and approach

She also draws on attachment ideas to help people understand connection and closeness issues. Her background includes a Master of Arts in General Psychology from The New School with study in neuroscience and attachment theory, and a Master of Social Work from New York University. Those studies feed into a practice that values both thoughtful reflection and practical skill building.

She notes a long personal mindfulness practice that informs her work with clients. Sessions typically focus on making day-to-day life more manageable. That can mean learning new communication habits, building emotion regulation skills, or practicing acceptance around difficult feelings.

Allison frames therapy as education plus hands-on practice, not just talk. She has six years of clinical experience and works with adults on mood concerns, trauma history, adjustment to change, career questions, and relationship challenges. Her aim is to help people find clearer direction and more steady functioning in everyday life.

How Allison’s approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. She mixes approaches when that makes sense and regularly checks in about what is helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can be a simpler option if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit work breaks, parenting schedules, or travel.
