About Caron

Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with addictions, anger, career changes, parenting concerns, and major life transitions. Caron writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person.

Her style is practical and collaborative. Sessions often focus on connecting thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can make small, steady changes. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness techniques to build calm in stressful moments.

Caron brings five years of clinical experience to her practice and combines that with a broad academic background. She holds three master’s degrees including a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy and a Master of Science in Psychology. She also has an MBA.

In session she may use Narrative Therapy to help people reshape the stories they tell about themselves. Solution-Focused techniques are used to identify practical steps that move a person toward their goals. Somatic approaches address how the body is reacting to stress and help people develop simple ways to feel more grounded.

She works with adults in California and conducts therapy in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments based on the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for tackling anxiety and depression by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and create clearer choices in stressful moments. Narrative Therapy helps people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves so they can move toward different possibilities.

Choosing the right approach is often part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may involve trying an approach for several sessions and adapting based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work on emotional challenges into a busy week. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid the need to be on camera when that feels too demanding. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively over distance, and the therapist will discuss which approach and session rhythm best fit a client’s life and goals.
