About Caron

California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of experience. Caron Trataris works primarily with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, addictions, parenting and family concerns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people manage emotions and daily challenges.

Caron describes therapy as a practical way to understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. She uses CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop small, concrete behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to slow down strong reactions and create space for clearer choices.

Narrative methods help people separate themselves from problem stories and try different meanings. Solution-focused steps are used for short-term goals and specific problem solving. Somatic ideas bring attention to bodily responses so clients can recognize and calm physical signs of stress.

Sessions are conversational and structured around real-life problems. Caron explains ideas in plain language and practices exercises clients can use between sessions. She also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, blended family issues, hoarding, and midlife challenges.

Caron holds three master’s degrees including a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy and uses the short form LMFT after the credential is introduced. Her approach is practical and focused on skills people can apply to daily life.

How Caron applies approaches during online sessions

Carson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT sessions often involve identifying a specific problem, testing beliefs, and practicing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach brief attention and breathing practices. These methods are used to reduce immediate reactivity, calm the body, and create pauses that make other therapeutic work easier.

Narrative Therapy appears in sessions as a way to separate someone from a limiting story and then try alternative meanings. This can help people who feel stuck by a single identity or problem, and it supports clearer choices about next steps.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Caron will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions about emphasis and pacing are made collaboratively during early sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work useful for fitting sessions into busy days, shortening commute time, or using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online meetings can also make it easier to practice mindfulness and somatic exercises in the moment.
