About Allyson
Allyson Puzzo is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She focuses on building a working relationship where clients can talk honestly and try new ways of coping. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Background and approach
Mindfulness-based techniques help clients slow down and respond differently to strong emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in identifying valued directions and taking small steps toward them, even when emotions feel intense. Allyson also draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on each person’s needs and perspective.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, addiction, ADHD, and challenges tied to parenting and blended families. She addresses common relationship problems like communication, jealousy, infidelity, and codependency in straightforward terms. Allyson trained in mental health counseling and has background study in forensic psychology.
She offers sessions from New York and connects with people through several online formats. Language of service is English, and she is available to international clients.

Approaches That Fit Your Life and Schedule
Allyson often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when emotions are strong. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life changes to reduce distress and improve behavior.She pairs those methods with client-centered listening, which keeps sessions grounded in each person’s priorities. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people work face to face from another location. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, short problem-solving, or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions and try tools in real life between meetings.
