Allison Falzone
Therapist, LMSW
Online therapy offers the flexibility to access therapy from the comfort of your home, office, or wherever life takes you, without sacrificing the quality of care. It is especially helpful for those with busy schedules and removes the stress of commuting to and from my office. I work with adults navigating anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, relationship challenges, career stress, and life transitions. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and practical, blending evidence-based treatments such as ACT, CBT, ERP, I-CBT, and psychodynamic therapy to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to feel different, online therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with greater confidence.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
Even though sessions are virtual, I deeply value creating a genuine therapeutic connection and relationship with each client. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable or intimidating, and I strive to create a space that feels warm, supportive, and human from the very beginning. Building trust and helping clients feel truly seen and understood is at the core of my work. I’m proud that many of my clients choose to continue working with me long term, which I believe reflects the strength of the relationships we build together and the sense of safety and consistency they experience in therapy.

6 Years Experience

Buffalo's post-industrial economy and harsh winters contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal mood challenges, and therapists here are experienced in working with these climate-related patterns. The city has a strong community identity and a sizable working-class population, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic stress, relationship issues, and intergenerational family dynamics. The University at Buffalo and Erie County Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve those seeking longer-term therapeutic relationships. Buffalo's proximity to Canada and its large Rust Belt peer cities also shapes a regional resilience that many therapists draw on in their work.
