About Caron
Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and self-esteem. She sees adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or pulled in different directions. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making daily life more manageable.
In therapy she uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact.
Background and approach
She blends mindfulness techniques to slow down strong reactions and create space for clearer choices. Narrative work helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their families. Her background includes multiple graduate degrees and five years of clinical work as a licensed therapist in California.
That mix of training informs a style that is both structured and person-focused. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with time for reflection and skill practice. Caron pays attention to how the body responds to stress and sometimes uses somatic ideas to bring awareness to physical tension.
Solution-focused methods support quick, concrete steps when immediate change is needed. This mix lets therapy be flexible to the problem at hand. People who reach out can expect clear explanations and simple strategies they can try between sessions.
The emphasis is on usable skills that fit into busy family lives. Caron invites questions and works with each person to find the right pace and focus.
Online approaches that fit family life
CBT is a hands-on method that helps people see how thoughts influence feelings and actions, then teaches practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that affects daily routines and relationships.Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and create breathing room before reacting. It can help when worry, anger, or overwhelm gets in the way of connecting with family members.
Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their roles. Rewriting those stories can open space for new possibilities in parenting and family relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then try methods that match those priorities. That collaborative process helps find what actually feels helpful.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to use tools in real time between sessions. Practical exercises, brief check-ins, and skill practice can all be adapted to online formats so work continues between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
Narrative Therapy
Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
