About Caron
Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed or stuck and want clearer ways to cope. Her approach aims to make everyday life feel more manageable so parents and caregivers can better handle daily demands.
In session she uses practical tools to link thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test different responses. Mindfulness practices are used to calm the body and create brief pauses before reacting. Narrative ideas are woven in to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their families.
Solution-Focused techniques help set concrete, short-term goals so clients see change between sessions. Somatic work addresses how stress shows up in the body and offers simple ways to reduce physical tension. Caron completed three master's degrees, including a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy from University of Phoenix-Pasadena, California.
She has five years of clinical experience working with adult clients in California. Her sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. She focuses on small, achievable steps that fit into busy family lives.
People who are juggling caregiving, blended family issues, midlife decisions, or hoarding and organization struggles may find this practical focus helpful.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people try new responses to old patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that gets in the way of daily life.Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to calm the nervous system and notice reactions as they happen. These techniques can be useful for parents and caregivers who want quick tools to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment focus.
Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their family roles, which can open up options for change and build self esteem.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Plan to adjust strategies over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face-to-face and use visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter conversations during a busy day. These options help fit therapy into caregiving schedules, job demands, and changing routines.
