About Allyson

Allyson Puzzo understands that beginning therapy can feel daunting and that finding a therapist who truly connects with a client is a critical step. She focuses on creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship where insight can occur and practical change can follow.

Background and approach

With experience facilitating both group programs and individual sessions, she works to enhance each client's current level of functioning and overall condition. Her clinical focus includes behavioral issues, childhood trauma, insecure attachment patterns, familial and relationship problems, depression, and anxiety.

She draws on academic training in Mental Health Counseling and Forensic Psychology to inform her approach. As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she combines relational attention with evidence-informed strategies to help clients address challenges and move toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Allyson Puzzo draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed, clarify their values, and take action that aligns with what matters most. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behavior and mood; CBT is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, and sleep concerns. In addition, Client-Centered Therapy guides Allyson to prioritize empathy and active listening, creating a supportive space where clients can explore relationships, attachment patterns, and self-esteem.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Allyson works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals often adapt techniques over time, and Allyson will help tailor the work as therapy progresses.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access care from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, help maintain continuity during life transitions, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
