Caron Trataris

Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She understands that reaching out can feel hard and that emotional pain often makes day-to-day life feel heavier. Caron keeps language direct and practical so people can get started without confusion.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to reduce reactivity and create brief moments of calm. Narrative and solution-focused tools are used to clarify what matters now and identify small, manageable steps forward.

Caron also brings somatic awareness into sessions, paying attention to how the body holds stress and tension. This can help when anger or anxiety shows up as muscle tightness, shortness of breath, or restlessness. She aims to combine thinking, felt experience, and simple skills practice so change feels doable.

Her background includes three master’s degrees: a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy; a Master of Science in Psychology; and an MBA, all from University of Phoenix. She has five years of clinical experience working with adults on everyday and complex concerns.

Caron invites prospective clients to take a first step by using the site’s Start Therapy process. She approaches each person with clear goals and practical techniques to help people move through anger, rebuild connection, and handle life’s demands.

How specific approaches translate to online work

Many of Caron’s methods translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses; online sessions can include thought records, behavioral experiments, and practical homework to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple grounding and breathing practices to reduce reactivity; these exercises can be taught and practiced during a session and repeated at home or work.

Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and try new ways of framing events. In online sessions this can look like collaborative writing, mapping life chapters, and developing alternative storylines that reduce shame or anger.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Caron will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust based on what helps. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so therapy stays aligned with their needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it fits into a busy schedule, makes it easier to keep regular appointments, and allows short check-ins when life gets hectic. Some approaches work well without video when bandwidth is limited, and some tools are simple to use between sessions to build steady progress.
