About Caron
Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions or life shifts and need practical ways to cope. Caron also supports concerns such as addiction, anger, parenting challenges, and career stress.
In sessions she focuses on concrete connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Background and approach
She blends mindfulness practices to slow down automatic reactions and create space for clearer choices. Narrative techniques help people reframe difficult stories they tell about themselves. Caron draws on five years of clinical experience and several graduate degrees.
She holds a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy from University of Phoenix-Pasadena, a Master of Science in Psychology, and a Master of Business Administration from University of Phoenix. Those degrees inform both clinical and practical aspects of her work. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
She aims to give tools people can use between sessions, and she checks in about what is working. Sessions often mix skill practice with talking and reflection so progress feels useful in day-to-day life. Therapy with Caron is offered to adults in California and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
People who want to begin are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.
How Caron Uses Talk Work and Mindful Practice Online
Caron commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors, then try small experiments to change unhelpful cycles; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to calm the body's stress response and make space for clearer decisions, which can reduce reactive habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and daily life. Some people move quickly to skill practice, while others begin by looking at the stories they tell and then add mindfulness or behavior experiments as needed.
Online formats offer flexibility for people juggling busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when a shorter written exchange fits better into a day. These options make regular contact more manageable and help apply skills in real time.
