Allison Trevino

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of clinical experience, licensed in Texas and Kentucky. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, career questions, and life changes. Clients often seek her help for intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and coping with chronic illness or caregiver strain.

Allison uses practical, talk-based work in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Sessions focus on identifying patterns that get in the way and trying concrete strategies to change them. Expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is checked over time.

She also pays attention to attachment issues, body image, codependency, and communication problems. For people affected by addiction, first responder stress, or trauma, her work can include grounding skills, emotion regulation tools, and behavioral experiments. Practical tasks between sessions are often suggested to build new habits.

Having worked with military members and military spouses in past roles, she understands stressors tied to service life and separation. Allison works with people facing divorce, separation, or the aftermath of disasters and loss. Her background includes a Master of Social Work with clinical focus from the University of New England.

Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking. To begin, complete the matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How Allison uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it pairs that noticing with actions tied to what matters. It can be useful for someone who feels stuck and wants clearer direction on values and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple experiments and practice tasks to change patterns that keep someone feeling stuck, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to work with upsetting memories and the emotional responses tied to them. In sessions that use this method, the therapist guides steps that aim to reduce distress linked to traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Allison will discuss how these methods might fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan collaboratively as therapy progresses.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove commute time. Therapists can also recommend between-session exercises or tools that fit daily life to keep momentum between meetings.
