About Allyson

Allyson DeCastro is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or big life changes. She also supports those managing concentration and focus concerns related to ADHD and people facing grief or trauma.

Allyson centers sessions on the person in front of her. She treats clients as the experts on their own story and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with steps you can try between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, short-term goals and track progress.

Trauma-Focused Therapy guides work with painful memories and reactions when those come up. Allyson has five years of professional experience working with these concerns. Her background includes supporting people through adoption and foster care challenges and issues common to young adults.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward, focused on what matters to each person. If making a first appointment feels hard, Allyson acknowledges that step and prioritizes gentle, steady progress. She encourages practical changes that fit everyday life and works with each person to find what helps them feel more capable and in control.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Allyson commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy during online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete goals and practical steps to build momentum and track what’s improving.

She also brings Trauma-Focused Therapy into sessions when difficult memories or reactions come up. That approach focuses on processing those memories carefully and reducing their impact on daily life. Allyson will discuss these options with each person and help choose what fits their needs and goals.

The online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer talks. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera feels easier. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or connecting between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working toward goals from wherever you are.
