Allison Trevino, LCSW

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a clinical master's degree in social work from the University of New England and four years of professional experience. She draws on training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and solution-focused techniques to create an integrative, individualized plan for each person she sees. Allison emphasizes a client-centered, collaborative approach - partnering with clients to set goals and work through challenges at a comfortable pace.

Her practice focuses on a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing attachment and intimacy issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and first responder or military-related stressors. Allison has experience working with members of the military and military spouses, and she tailors evidence-based strategies to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Known for creating a nonjudgmental space, Allison aims to build strong therapeutic alliance and practical skills that help clients reduce distress and move toward their goals. She welcomes the opportunity to join clients on their path to healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Allison integrates several proven approaches to meet individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a collaborative, empathic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-discovery and personal growth. EMDR offers a structured method to process traumatic memories and related distress through targeted eye movements or similar bilateral stimulation, helping some people reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Allison works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adjusts techniques over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Allison is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between appointments, and access licensed professionals from home or work when that is most convenient.
