Allison Trevino , LCSW

Allison Trevino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings clinical training and practical experience to help people manage stress, trauma, addictions, and relationship difficulties. She earned a Master of Social Work with a clinical focus from the University of New England and draws on evidence-based modalities to design treatment that fits each person's situation. Allison is well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She integrates these approaches with solution-focused and client-centered techniques to address depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, substance misuse, and other presenting concerns.

Her practice has included work with military service members and military spouses as well as survivors of trauma, and she often helps clients navigate relational stress, grief, and life transitions. Allison emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance that builds trust and therapeutic alliance. In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore feelings, reflect on patterns, and practice strategies that support change.

Committed to helping people reach their goals and reduce distress, Allison focuses on individualized care that respects each client's pace and priorities. She aims to partner with clients as they develop coping skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward greater stability and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Allison often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR as part of her clinical work. CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. DBT focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories to reduce their ongoing emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Allison collaborates with each client to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so the work feels manageable and meaningful, treating therapy as a partnership.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that partnership through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support when life changes arise. Licensed professionals, including Allison, can adapt interventions across these formats to help clients progress toward their goals.
