About Allison

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns. She practices in Kentucky and brings a calm, patient presence to sessions. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients feel understood and seen.

Allison uses practical, evidence-based methods to address everyday problems. She draws from cognitive behavioral work to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance strategies to help people focus on meaningful actions. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior work are woven in when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Her approach is client-centered and collaborative. She emphasizes building a working relationship first, then setting clear goals together. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small steps that can be used between meetings.

With four years of clinical experience and a master of social work degree, Allison supports people coping with life changes, chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, and complex grief. She also addresses attachment concerns, body image, codependency, and co-occurring substance use issues.

Sessions are offered in English and she holds the LCSW credential. Prospective clients are asked to follow the site process to match and schedule, and to confirm the current session options before booking.

Step 3

How Allison’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and living with ongoing health or life challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that feed distress and testing more helpful ways of thinking and acting; it often targets depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that revisits distressing memories in a structured way to reduce their intensity and the reactions they trigger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allison will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust pace based on how a person responds.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can guide clients on which approach and session rhythm will best support daily life and therapeutic progress.
