About Allison

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of clinical experience and practices from Kentucky. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, family problems, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping troubles, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication difficulties, and first responder issues.

Allison uses a client-centered style. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She listens first, then helps people outline small steps they can try between meetings. The work often mixes talk with specific tools and exercises that address feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

Her clinical methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and client-centered therapy. These methods are used together depending on what each person needs. She draws from evidence-based approaches to match interventions to a person’s goals.

People who bring addiction, trauma, or relationship pain can expect focused attention on coping skills, boundary work, and processing difficult memories. For sleep and mood concerns she incorporates behavioral strategies and skills practice. Sessions also address practical life stressors like caregiving, career strain, and communication breakdowns.

Allison holds an LCSW and lists licensure in Texas and Kentucky. She offers services in English and does not accept international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions operate through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How Allison’s therapies translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with them, while noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck. It can help with persistent guilt, shame, avoidance, and life changes by translating values into daily choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach for processing traumatic memories and reducing their intensity; it is typically used for trauma and abuse-related symptoms.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at current goals, what has helped before, and personal preferences. They may try one method first and adjust over time based on how the client responds.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier by reducing travel time and offering shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows therapists to use worksheets, behavioral experiments, and skill practice during sessions, which can be helpful for ACT and CBT work. For EMDR-informed processing, the therapist will discuss what the client can expect and how to pace the work so it fits daily life.
