Allison Trevino, LCSW

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with grief, sleep problems, low self-esteem, career strain, bipolar mood challenges, and major life changes. Allison works in Kentucky and offers care in English.

Allison uses a client-centered, collaborative style. She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Conversations tend to be direct and compassionate, with attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships affect daily life.

Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking and behavior patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and coping skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and action, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work. She adapts pieces of these approaches to fit individual goals.

Allison has four years of clinical experience and holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her background includes supporting people with substance use concerns, attachment and relationship issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and the specific pressures first responders and military-connected people can face.

She frames therapy as a partnership where the person sets goals and Allison helps craft realistic steps toward them. To start, she asks straightforward questions, listens, and makes a plan that aims for small, measurable progress over time.

How these approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions in that direction. Online sessions using ACT often focus on identifying values and building practical steps to make change in daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce distress. In remote sessions CBT is used to teach coping strategies, spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and practice new behaviors between meetings.

EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories. When used remotely, the therapist works with clients to safely pace trauma work and introduce techniques that reduce overwhelm while moving toward recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, cut down travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when a quick conversation helps. Licensed professionals can guide clients in choosing a rhythm and session length that match their life and goals.
