About Allison

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and changes related to health and life transitions. She practices in Kentucky and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Allison focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more in control.

Allison draws on several evidence-based methods to tailor care to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and respond to painful thoughts without getting stuck. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her approach for people working through traumatic memories.

Sessions are client-centered and collaborative. Allison tends to set clear goals, practice new skills in session, and suggest short exercises to try between meetings. She emphasizes small, doable changes that fit into everyday routines. Conversations are direct but compassionate, with attention to what matters to the individual.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work with a clinical focus. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and lists experience across a range of concerns including caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, attachment issues, sleep problems, and substance use. Allison has four years of clinical experience.

Therapeutic methods and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them and clarifies what matters most so actions align with values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that guides processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process shapes whether sessions emphasize skills practice, values-based work, or trauma processing, and it evolves as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or audio in ways that suit them - for example, shorter phone or audio check-ins when bandwidth is limited, or video sessions for in-depth skill practice and EMDR work when appropriate. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to determine the best session setup for your needs.
