About Caron
Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, with five years of clinical experience. She works mainly with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and life changes. Many clients come when they feel overwhelmed or find it hard to connect with others.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She also integrates mindfulness to help people notice physical reactions and create small pauses before reacting. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used to clarify what people want to change and to identify practical steps forward.
Caron often helps people manage strong feelings that get in the way of relationships and work. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, caregiver stress, midlife transitions, and issues linked to aging and blended families. Her work touches on addiction, hoarding, forgiveness, and somatization when these arise alongside other concerns.
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 combines clinical approaches with straightforward techniques that can be practiced between sessions.
Sessions are aimed at helping people recognize triggers, try different responses, and build daily routines that reduce reactivity. The focus is practical - learning small, repeatable steps to change how emotional pressure shows up in life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Online sessions can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at specific thoughts and behaviors and try concrete experiments between meetings. CBT helps people test beliefs and change patterns that feed anger, anxiety, or low mood.Mindfulness therapy in online work focuses on noticing bodily reactions and breathing patterns. Practicing short mindfulness exercises during or between sessions helps reduce automatic reactivity and makes it easier to choose a different response in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then recommend whether CBT, mindfulness, narrative ideas, or somatic tools are the best fit. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people like online sessions because they fit into a workday, cut travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills in real-life settings and follow up on tasks assigned between sessions.
