Allison Trevino, LCSW

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports people facing depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep struggles, self-esteem issues, and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

Allison draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns, and mindfulness and acceptance strategies to build tolerance for hard feelings. She blends client-centered work with tools from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when appropriate for trauma processing.

In sessions she favors a collaborative style. Clients set goals and Allison helps break those goals into small, manageable steps. Conversations often include skills practice, grounding exercises, and real-world homework to test what works between meetings.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work with a clinical focus. That training supports a focus on real-life challenges like caregiving stress, chronic illness, communication problems, and substance use concerns alongside mood and anxiety issues.

Allison brings four years of clinical experience to her practice and maintains licensure as an LCSW. She offers care in English for people located in Kentucky. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How Allison’s approaches translate to online work

Allison frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their values and take small steps toward what matters. ACT focuses on building willingness to experience difficult feelings while still acting in line with chosen goals, which can help with stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking that boost anxiety or low mood, and to practice alternative responses. CBT often involves short exercises and homework that are easy to do between sessions, such as thought records or behavior experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means trying strategies in session, checking how they feel, and adjusting plans as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session options are offered before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in the settings where they live. Licensed professionals can guide pacing, teach coping skills, and use EMDR-informed techniques and mindfulness exercises in ways that fit remote care.
