About Allison
Allison Palazzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She offers steady, practical support for stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and life changes. Her approach aims to reduce barriers that keep people from functioning well day to day.
Allison focuses on clear, solution-oriented conversations. She listens for patterns that cause pain and helps clients try different ways of coping. Sessions emphasize useful tools and next steps rather than long explanations or jargon.
Background and approach
Many people work with her on relationship and intimacy questions, self-esteem, career crossroads, and family conflict. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and struggles linked to ADHD. Her background includes long-term clinical practice in New York.
Allison uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's situation. She believes therapy should be collaborative, with goals set together and adjusted as needed. Progress can look different for everyone and she focuses on whatever helps a client move forward.
Practical matters are part of her work. Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. She helps people find approaches that fit their life and priorities, and she guides them through next steps as they build more workable routines.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Allison uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and measurable change. One common approach she uses emphasizes behavioral strategies - identifying unhelpful patterns, testing new behaviors, and building routines that reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. This method works well for people who want concrete steps and clear practice between sessions.Another approach centers on coping and relapse prevention for addiction-related concerns. Sessions include planning for triggers, strengthening support systems, and developing coping plans for setbacks. This helps people develop steady, repeatable habits to support recovery over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison works with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and everyday demands. She revisits the plan as progress is made and adjusts tools to better fit what actually helps.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text let people check in between meetings and use brief exchanges for quick coping ideas. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
