Trina Jones Artis, LCSW

Trina Jones Artis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Hawaii who brings three years of professional clinical experience to her work. She supports adults facing stress and anxiety, identity and LGBT concerns, grief and loss, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation, helping clients navigate life transitions with practical, solution-focused strategies.

With a strengths-based perspective, she emphasizes that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing resources and abilities can be used to address current difficulties. Her practice also attends to the needs of veterans and members of the armed forces, multicultural concerns, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth related challenges, and issues common to young adults.

Trina draws on client-centered techniques to create a respectful and collaborative environment where clients set priorities and work toward meaningful goals. She combines this approach with motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help clients identify small, achievable steps and sustain momentum toward change. Taking the first step toward greater well-being can take courage, and she offers steady support through that process.

Trina provides care in English and works with clients who are located in Hawaii. Her training and licensure as an LCSW reflect clinical preparation in assessment, treatment planning, and therapeutic interventions aimed at improving coping and day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Trina commonly integrates client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening with empathy and partnering with the client to identify what matters most, which can be especially helpful for concerns about identity, self-esteem, and relationship stress. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way of exploring readiness for change and strengthening motivation by helping clients connect their own values to actionable steps, often useful for addressing anxiety, motivation, and life transitions. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on practical goals and small, concrete changes that move clients toward better coping and clearer next steps.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work itself; she will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership guides session focus and helps shape an approach that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
