About Celeste

Celeste Trevino is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 35 years of experience in Illinois. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making therapy useful from the first sessions.

Clients can expect work that focuses on attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current feelings and choices. Sessions include talking through difficult memories, learning clearer communication, and building day-to-day coping skills.

Background and approach

She uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside emotion-focused work. Her approach also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them. Existential ideas are used when clients want to explore meaning, choice, and personal responsibility.

The mix is tailored to each person rather than one fixed method. Celeste pays attention to issues like abandonment fears, codependency, body image, and commitment concerns. She also addresses less common areas such as kink and alternative sex culture without judgment, and works with people managing caregiver stress, dissociation, or mood dysregulation challenges.

Therapy is conversational and goal-oriented. Celeste aims to help clients notice patterns, try new responses, and track small changes that add up over time.

Online support

Attachment and evidence-informed approaches online

Celeste integrates attachment-based ideas with acceptance and behavior-focused methods to address relationships and distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, helping people notice and change long-standing habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions consistent with those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Celeste collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and temperament. She uses elements from different approaches as needed, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on progress and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and use screen-based worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, written check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines while keeping the focus on consistent, goal-directed work.
