About Allyson
Allyson Puzzo is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She aims to build a clear, honest connection so clients can notice what they want to change and take steps toward it. Her style is straightforward and warm, and she writes and speaks in everyday terms so parents and busy adults can follow along.
She uses approaches that focus on choices and present-day patterns.
Background and approach
That means practicing skills for handling strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and trying small experiments between sessions. She also draws on the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and rebuild trust in close relationships. Allyson trained in mental health counseling and studied forensic psychology, and she brings 12 years of clinical work to sessions.
She has worked with people in groups and one-on-one, always aiming to improve day-to-day functioning and quality of life. Her New York licensure appears as LMHC. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps set realistic, step-by-step goals.
She often combines evidence-based exercises with simple mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Practical homework is common so changes carry into everyday life. Therapy with her tends to emphasize better communication, clearer boundaries, and small habits that add up.
She helps people cope with life changes, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, and the fallout from betrayal or grief. English is used for all sessions, and she accepts international clients.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Allyson uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small actions that match their values. ACT often helps with anxiety, low mood, and decisions that feel stuck. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed stress and to practice concrete ways to change reactions. CBT is useful for sleep problems, panic, and managing mood swings. The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and trust in close relationships by teaching clear skills for resolving conflict and rebuilding connection.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means techniques can be adapted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is good for longer sessions and practicing skills together. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let someone share thoughts between meetings and get shorter, written responses when that format feels most useful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and changing schedules.
