About Allison
Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with four years of experience. She practices in Kentucky and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy challenges, sleep problems, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
Allison uses straightforward, practical therapy methods. Sessions tend to focus on identifying patterns that keep a person putting others first, and on steps to build clearer boundaries. She combines techniques from several approaches to match what an individual needs in the moment.
Her work is grounded in client-centered principles. That means she aims to listen first and follow the person's priorities rather than impose a fixed plan. Discussions often cover attachment patterns, codependency, family conflict, and problems that come with caregiving or chronic illness.
Therapeutic tools Allison draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR for trauma-related memories. Mindfulness techniques and practical skill coaching are used to manage anxiety, cravings, mood swings, and sleep disruption.
People seeking help are invited to think about specific goals like saying no more often, reducing people-pleasing, managing another person’s substance use impact, or improving emotional regulation. She asks clients to choose one small first step and then builds from there.
How sessions work
How Allison blends therapy approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help someone who keeps putting others first decide what matters and take small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical exercises for anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing disturbing memories and can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions when it is appropriate to use.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Allison listens to what the person struggles with and what goals matter most, then suggests methods to try. The plan can change as progress is made or as new needs appear.
The ways sessions are offered are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, shorten travel, or allow for a quick check-in when time is limited. Some methods work well with structured exercises and worksheets, while trauma processing like EMDR may need different pacing; Allison will discuss how each method can fit into your schedule and preferences.
