How Trenese’s approaches translate to online therapy

Trenese often uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in sessions. Client-centered work means she focuses on what the client says matters, listens without judgment, and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.

She also draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice physical signals and calm their reactions. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to steady attention and reduce reactivity. Somatic work helps a person recognize how stress shows up in the body and offers gentle ways to shift that response.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work she does with each person. She will talk with clients about goals, try different tools, and adjust methods as progress is made. This collaborative process helps find what actually fits the person’s needs and preferences.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that focus on skill practice. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep momentum between sessions.
