About Trina
LCSW Trina Jones Artis is a licensed clinical social worker in Hawaii with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, and young adult issues. Trina uses client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques in her practice.
Trina approaches sessions with a focus on what the person brings. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. She uses brief, goal-oriented strategies when that fits, and motivational techniques to help people find reasons and energy to change.
In practical terms she often helps people manage stress and anxiety through step-by-step problem solving. For grief and self-esteem concerns she explores what matters to the person and what small changes could feel meaningful. For LGBT-related concerns and multicultural issues she pays attention to cultural context and identity when discussing options and next steps.
Her use of solution-focused work means sessions may include setting clear short-term goals and checking progress between meetings. Motivational interviewing is used to weigh options and clarify what a person wants to move toward. Client-centered work keeps the conversation anchored in the person's priorities and lived experience.

How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person's priorities and reflecting what matters most to them. Online sessions using this approach keep the conversation grounded in the client's goals and lived experience rather than imposing an agenda.Motivational interviewing helps people weigh options and find their own reasons to change. In remote sessions this looks like asking focused questions, reflecting ambivalence, and building small, realistic next steps that the person can try between meetings.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on short-term goals and practical steps. Online work with this method often includes setting one or two clear goals, checking progress, and adjusting strategies across appointments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as goals evolve.
The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help integrate therapeutic work into everyday life without promising a specific format.
