About Allison

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and family-related concerns. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her style is collaborative and respectful, aimed at finding practical steps that fit daily life.

Allison uses a blended approach in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on skills practice, values-based choices, and processing painful memories when needed. Therapy with Allison tends to be straightforward. She offers clear tools for managing strong emotions, improving sleep, and handling life transitions.

Conversations address relationship patterns, communication problems, and issues like self-esteem or body image in down-to-earth terms. Her work reflects a client-centered stance. That means the person seeking help guides goals and pace, and Allison adjusts methods to fit those goals.

She emphasizes building trust and a practical plan that can be used between sessions. Allison holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, listed as TX LCSW 62152 and KY LCSW 255518. She practices from Kentucky and conducts sessions in English.

For parents and adults juggling many demands, her approach aims to make change manageable and relevant.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build actions that match those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and coping with stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing painful memories and reducing their emotional intensity when that work is needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time, combining skills practice with processing work based on the client’s needs and progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to use tools in real time between meetings. Licensed professionals can teach skills, guide EMDR protocols when appropriate, and support values-based planning remotely, which helps people keep momentum even with limited time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
