Alison Baker, LCSW

Alison Baker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions, and she lists anger among her areas of focus.

Alison uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and shift unhelpful thinking. Sessions focus on concrete skills as well as understanding how past relationships shape present reactions.

She helps people manage stress at work, handle frustration in relationships, and reduce impulsive responses. Conversations often include building clearer communication habits, learning grounding and coping techniques, and practicing alternative responses to strong emotions.

Alison also supports those dealing with grief, addiction concerns, chronic health challenges, and shifts in identity or life direction. She pays attention to attachment wounds like abandonment or difficulty trusting others and works with clients on issues such as guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

Her practice is described in straightforward terms: talk through what feels stuck, try practical tools between sessions, and adjust approaches based on what works. Sessions are offered in English and Alison accepts international clients, with scheduling and format details confirmed when starting the process.
