About Allison
Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of clinical experience, licensed in Texas and Kentucky. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strains, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem issues, career stress, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, and first responder issues.
Allison uses a client-centered style. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear skills that people can try between meetings. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance-oriented approaches, dialectical skills, and EMDR when appropriate. Expect straightforward conversation, symptom-focused tools, and exploration of patterns that keep problems stuck.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods rather than relying on a single technique. That means Allison may introduce mindfulness and acceptance strategies, behavioral experiments to change unhelpful routines, and skills for regulating emotions and improving communication. EMDR can be used for processing traumatic memories when it fits the concern.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients set goals and track progress across sessions. Practical coping strategies for sleep, stress, and addictions are common topics, as are work-life balance and managing caregiver strain.
Allison holds a master’s degree in social work with a clinical focus. She practices from Kentucky and conducts work in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's steps to request online care.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and committing to actions that match personal values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes because it focuses on what matters most rather than trying to eliminate every unwanted thought.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It typically involves setting small experiments, tracking thoughts and behaviors, and practicing new ways of responding to mood, sleep issues, or addictive urges.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. When appropriate, it can be used for trauma-related symptoms and flashbacks as part of a broader treatment plan.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Allison will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That means methods may be blended across sessions and changed as progress is tracked.
The practical benefits of online care include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule sessions around caregiving or work, and use screen-based tools for worksheets and skills practice.
