About Celeste
Celeste Trevino is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her practice also addresses related issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and divorce or separation.
She uses clear, direct conversations to help people notice patterns that feed frustration and anger. Sessions focus on identifying what triggers strong reactions and learning specific ways to respond differently. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
Celeste also employs approaches that focus on values and meaning to guide choices when emotions feel overwhelming. She uses emotionally-focused techniques to work through painful interpersonal moments and to improve how people express needs. The goal is practical: reduce repeated snap reactions and build more reliable ways of relating to others.
Her work often includes straightforward skills practice between meetings. Clients leave with concrete steps to try during stressful moments, short exercises to notice physical warning signs, and language to slow down conversations that escalate. She expects therapy to be collaborative and task-oriented, with steady attention to what is useful day to day.
Celeste practices in Illinois and offers services in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking to match their needs and schedule.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that reflect those values. It is useful when anger or frustration leads people to act against their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing thought patterns and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce reactive behavior. It helps with bursts of anger tied to negative interpretations of events. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and teaches new ways to ask for connection and support.Choosing an approach is part of the process. Celeste will discuss which methods fit a client’s goals and preferences and adjust the focus over time. The work is collaborative: clients and therapist decide together what to try and how to measure progress in everyday life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many clients use online sessions to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce commuting time, or keep a shorter check-in when life is busy. Online meetings can support practice between sessions, such as trying a communication script or a brief breathing exercise, and make it easier to apply tools where problems actually happen.
