About Celeste
Celeste Trevino, LCPC, helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. She brings 35 years of clinical experience and a calm, direct approach to conversations about difficult feelings and life changes. She focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
That may include learning ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, practicing new communication habits, or trying actions that reflect personal values. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change.
Background and approach
Celeste draws from several therapeutic styles to match what a person needs. She uses approaches that look at present thoughts and behaviors, deep attachment patterns, and emotional bonding in relationships. These methods are used to help with things like trust issues, repeated conflict, or persistent worry.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Illinois and work with people facing abandonment fears, attachment issues, body image concerns, codependency, and the stress that comes with caregiving. She also supports people navigating divorce, separation, dissociation, and a range of personality-related struggles. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep causing pain and helps create manageable plans for change.
People leave with specific skills to try at home and a clearer sense of next steps. The goal is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter. It helps people stuck in worry or avoidance build a life that matches what they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, explores emotions and bonding in close relationships to reduce conflict and increase connection.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, history, and comfort level. That plan can change over time as needs shift.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different day-to-day needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options help make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into life, while still focusing on meaningful progress.
