About Allison

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and challenges with intimacy and sleep.

Background and approach

She integrates proven therapeutic tools to address a wide range of issues including bipolar symptoms, family problems, coping with life changes, and chronic pain or illness. Allison also attends to attachment difficulties, body image concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and separation or divorce concerns.

With four years of clinical experience, Allison draws from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR. Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect for the client’s own goals, using practical strategies alongside reflective, client-centered support.

Sessions aim to balance skills-building with exploration so clients develop tools to manage current symptoms while examining patterns that underlie long-standing concerns. Allison practices in Kentucky and offers services in English.

She approaches each case individually, tailoring methods to match the client’s needs and preferences while helping them move toward clearer coping, improved relationships, and greater day-to-day functioning.

How Allison’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility through mindful awareness and committed action, which can be useful for coping with chronic problems and life transitions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce distress tied to traumatic memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison works with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so the approach evolves with the client’s needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or medical challenges. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from home and to follow up between appointments through messaging when that suits the client’s routine and therapeutic goals.
