About Allyson
Allyson Klein is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years in the mental health field. She connects with people who feel stuck and helps them take practical steps toward feeling better. Her approach is warm and non-judgmental, focused on listening and understanding each person's needs.
Allyson uses straightforward methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating and addiction concerns. She also helps with relationship and family-related challenges, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. Money and financial issues are included among the problems she supports people to work through.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She emphasizes noticing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. From there she helps clients try small, manageable changes and build skills like emotion regulation and clearer communication.
Allyson believes mindfulness and motivational interviewing can be practical tools in therapy. Mindfulness helps people notice what is happening in the moment without judgment. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify goals and strengthen the desire to change.
She has experience across many settings and with people from diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations. Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life problems. To begin, clients complete a short match questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
