About Allison

Allison Palazzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience helping people move past what holds them back. She creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship struggles. Allison practices in New York and speaks English. Her approach focuses on practical steps and clear goals. Sessions typically look at immediate roadblocks and small changes that add up over time. She helps people who are coping with life transitions, career stress, self-esteem struggles, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Allison also works with issues that often come with relationship strain, such as communication problems, infidelity, commitment worries, and blended family challenges. She assists people dealing with substance use, eating and food-related issues, and the grief that follows loss. Clients who feel overwhelmed by attention fatigue or compassion fatigue will find a frank, steady ally in Allison. She addresses abandonment worries, dependent personality patterns, codependency, and jealousy with direct conversation and problem-solving steps. The work is practical and tailored to the person in front of her. If someone wants support getting unstuck, Allison guides them through building skills and routines that fit daily life. She encourages steady progress and helps people figure out next steps they can actually use.

How Allison Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Allison draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. One common approach focuses on symptom reduction through practical skill-building: learning coping tools for anxiety, mood, and stress that can be practiced between sessions. This approach helps people manage day-to-day challenges and regain a sense of control. Another approach emphasizes processing life changes and grief through structured conversation and problem-solving. That work helps clients identify what matters most, make clearer decisions, and take manageable next steps after loss or major transitions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Allison will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what proves most helpful. The process is adaptable and aims to match methods to the person’s needs and pace. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. For some people, brief phone check-ins can be easier on a hectic day, while video sessions let the therapist and client maintain visual connection when helpful. Because the original biography does not list specific formats, confirm which session types are offered before booking to ensure they fit your needs.
