About Allison

Allison Palazzo is a New York LCSW with 19 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people move past obstacles that limit their day-to-day wellbeing.

Background and approach

She creates a supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere and uses a solution-oriented stance to help clients clarify priorities, reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety, and address challenges such as addiction, grief, and relationship or family conflict. Allison emphasizes practical steps alongside emotional processing to restore functioning and resilience.

Her practice attends to a broad range of concerns including self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Additional areas she addresses include blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, and eating or substance-related struggles.

Allison aims to meet clients where they are, offering steady guidance while encouraging clients to build skills and supports that fit their lives. Clients seeking help with life changes, loss, or rebuilding after painful experiences will find a therapist who values partnership and empowerment.

She encourages courageous steps toward a fuller life and works collaboratively to identify practical strategies that align with each person’s goals and strengths.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Allison draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that blend practical skill-building with emotional work. One approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and stress through structured strategies that teach coping, problem-solving, and pacing to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on recovery from addictions and related behaviors by helping clients identify triggers, build relapse prevention plans, and strengthen support systems to promote healthier choices.

Choosing the right therapeutic method is part of the collaborative process. Allison works with each person to explore which techniques best match their goals, preferences, and concerns, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so treatment feels personally relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Allison is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose communication styles that feel most comfortable for the client. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver consistent care while tailoring timing and interaction to each individual’s needs.
