About Allison

Allison Peck is a licensed clinical social worker who blends Internal Family Systems work with practical, evidence-informed techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She brings six years of clinical experience and a background in business and mindfulness practice to support adults and couples as they seek clearer priorities, healthier communication, and greater balance across parenting, career, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes education, skill-building, and ongoing reflection, drawing on acceptance-based and cognitive-behavioral tools alongside attachment-focused perspectives.

Allison integrates psychodynamic insight, DBT-informed strategies, and mind-body awareness to reduce distress and promote flexibility in responding to difficult emotions. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, and grief related to separation or aging.

Based in New York, Allison offers a collaborative style that centers a client’s goals and context while teaching concrete communication and coping skills. She frames therapy as a process of developing clarity and vision, helping clients surface patterns, strengthen relationships, and build sustainable routines that support long-term well-being.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work



Internal Family Systems (IFS) focuses on understanding and dialoguing with the different parts of a person’s inner life, helping people uncover protective and wounded parts and foster greater internal harmony; it can be useful for issues like anxiety, relational patterns, and difficult emotional states. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values and learning to make space for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can help with stress, career decisions, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in relationships and aims to strengthen connection and emotional regulation skills, often benefiting those facing intimacy, communication, or caregiver-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Allison will work with clients to assess goals, preferences, and presenting challenges, combining elements from these methods to create a tailored plan that feels practical and personally relevant. The process typically balances insight with concrete skills so clients gain both understanding and tools they can use between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit therapy into busy schedules and access care from wherever they are located in New York. These formats support ongoing work on communication, coping strategies, and relationship issues while making it easier to maintain consistent sessions around work and family demands.
