About Celeste
Celeste Trevino is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 35 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. People come to her when life feels disrupted by a breakup, a change at work, or an old wound that keeps resurfacing.
She focuses on helping people notice patterns that drive their reactions. Sessions often include talking through relationship struggles, practicing ways to manage strong emotions, and identifying values that matter now. Conversations are direct and practical, with an emphasis on what someone can try between sessions.
Celeste draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She uses these methods to address issues like abandonment, attachment problems, codependency, and communication breakdowns. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit when appropriate.
Clients who have faced trauma, dissociation, or difficult separations may work on grounding, boundaries, and clearer decision-making. She also supports people dealing with body image, kink-related concerns, caregiver stress, and personality-related patterns that interfere with relationships.
Her practice aims to help people find steadier footing after change. New clients begin by describing what feels most pressing. From there she and the client outline practical next steps for sessions and weekly life outside therapy.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and people who feel stuck deciding what matters next. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to improve how someone bonds, communicates, and sets boundaries. This can be helpful for trust issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, anger, and negative self-beliefs.Choosing the right approach is often part of early sessions. She will work together with each client to test methods, adjust them, and agree on priorities. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize values-based action, attachment work, or skill-focused CBT methods.
If you want online sessions, confirm the currently offered formats before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and reduces travel time. Discussing practical needs at the first meeting makes it easier to plan sessions that fit everyday life and treatment goals.
