About DeVonne

Dr. DeVonne Allen helps people facing parenting stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also supports concerns around relationships, intimacy, anger, self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

Dr. Allen is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, practicing in New York and offering direct, practical care. Her style is warm, genuine, and straightforward.

Sessions are a place to tell your story and set clear, realistic goals. She works together with each person to choose strategies that fit their life and needs.

Background and approach

Dr. Allen often uses short-term, skills-based methods alongside deeper narrative work. That can mean learning coping tools one week and talking through personal history another week.

She adapts methods like cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapy to the issue at hand. Over 13 years of practice have given her experience with many types of loss and stress. She draws on trauma-focused techniques when past harm affects current functioning, while also teaching mindfulness and distress-tolerance skills.

In sessions she balances practical steps with listening and validation. Expect clear feedback, paced goal setting, and homework when it helps. Her aim is to help people move forward with greater confidence and day-to-day coping skills.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online care

Dr. Allen uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and build practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress by breaking problems into small, solvable steps.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style techniques can help when strong emotions or intense relationships get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about goals and preferences, then try methods collaboratively so the client can see what fits. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit brief check-ins or midweek support. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, parenting, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
