About Caron
Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience. She works primarily with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, addictions, anger, and life transitions.
She focuses on helping people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often include practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to help reduce reactivity and create brief moments of calm in tense situations.
Narrative and solution-focused approaches are also part of her work. These methods help people reframe their stories and set small, achievable steps toward clearer goals. Somatic techniques are introduced when physical reactions to stress need to be addressed alongside thoughts and emotions.
Caron’s 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 uses that mix of training to balance concrete strategies with attention to life context.
In sessions she aims to help adults reduce reactive patterns, improve communication, and find manageable ways to cope with change. To begin, she asks clients to describe what they want to work on and helps map out practical first steps.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and trouble with anger by teaching concrete skills and experiments to test new ways of thinking.Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into day-to-day life. These short practices aim to reduce automatic reactivity and build small moments of calm when stress rises.
Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. It helps separate a person from a problem and find new ways to describe difficult experiences, which can make options clearer.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try a few techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That means methods can shift over a few sessions until something feels useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into work and family schedules, cut commute time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins when days are busy or phone sessions when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to arrange session lengths and a schedule that fits everyday life.
