Caron Trataris, LMFT

Caron Trataris understands that reaching out for support can feel like a significant step, and she meets that effort with attentive, practical care. She is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) - a credential that denotes training and authorization to provide therapy with attention to individuals, couples, and family systems. Caron works primarily with adults who are facing emotional pain or feeling overwhelmed by symptoms of anxiety or depression that interfere with connection and personal growth.

In her work she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, offering concrete strategies to change patterns that cause distress. She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people notice physical and emotional reactions, create moments of calm, and replace automatic reactivity with more considered responses during times of change. Her approach attends both to thinking patterns and bodily responses to stress, supporting clients as they develop new ways of coping.

Caron holds three master’s degrees from the University of Phoenix, including a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy, a Master of Science in Psychology, and an MBA. She welcomes the opportunity to work collaboratively with adults seeking relief from stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or other challenges, and looks forward to supporting each client’s path forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Caron Trataris integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices into her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured approach that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and it offers clear tools for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness of sensations and emotions, helping people respond to stress with greater calm and perspective rather than automatic reactions.

She may also draw on somatic-informed ideas to help clients notice and work with bodily responses to stress, which can be helpful when emotional struggles show up as physical tension or discomfort. Determining the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process - Caron partners with each client to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as work unfolds.

Online therapy with Caron is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographic limits, or energy levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, try different formats, and maintain progress even when life requires adaptability.
