About Treneva
She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. Mindfulness practices are used to help slow down intense feelings. She also draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to understand recurring patterns that get in the way of goals.
Before focusing on adult care, she worked with children and adolescents and has amassed five years as a licensed social worker. Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Social Work from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The license shown is LCSW in Texas.
In sessions she balances accountability with compassion. Conversations look at practical steps, motivation, and how the body and mind interact when emotions run high. She encourages clear goals and tracks small wins so progress is visible.
People often come for help with anger, parenting stress, sleep or eating concerns, ADHD, substance issues, or feelings of emptiness and shame. Her aim is to help each person find manageable strategies that fit real life and move toward steadier wellbeing.

How her approaches translate to online care
Treneva commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals so sessions follow the client's pace and priorities. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice bodily reactions and strong emotions without getting swept away. Mindfulness skills can help with anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and impulsivity by building simple practices that reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options and adapt techniques based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also permit using worksheets, real-time practice, and mindfulness exercises during appointments to keep progress practical and applicable to daily life.
