About Caron Trataris

Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience working primarily with adults. She supports people who are coping with emotional pain, overwhelming stress, symptoms of anxiety or depression, and challenges that interfere with connection and personal growth. Caron helps clients regain a sense of steadiness and discover practical ways to move forward in relationships, career, parenting, and life transitions.

Her work draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, and on mindfulness practices that help people notice physical and emotional reactions and create space for calmer responses. She also integrates narrative and solution-focused ideas when helpful, inviting clients to reframe difficult stories and identify concrete steps toward change.

Caron holds three master’s degrees: a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy from University of Phoenix-Pasadena, a Master of Science in Psychology, and an MBA, both from University of Phoenix. She presents a warm, grounded approach and aims to collaborate with each person to address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, family and parenting issues, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes, including aging and caregiving challenges.

Prospective clients can expect thoughtful, goal-oriented work that balances evidence-based techniques with attention to each person’s lived experience.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care

Online sessions with Caron often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday struggles.

Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside cognitive techniques to strengthen awareness of bodily sensations and emotional states, helping clients create space to respond rather than react. This can be particularly helpful for managing stress, anger, and somatic symptoms.

Narrative Therapy invites people to examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, and to explore alternative, more empowering perspectives. It can support work on identity, self-esteem, and relationship dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Caron works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods over time to find the best fit. Her online practice offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from varied locations. These options help clients engage in regular work with licensed professionals in a way that matches their schedule and communication style.
