About Caron
Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps adults cope with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at reducing overwhelm and restoring day-to-day functioning.
Clients often come when emotions get in the way of relationships, work, or self-esteem. Caron uses straightforward tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns and change reactions that keep problems stuck.
Background and approach
She blends strategies that target thoughts, body responses, and present-moment awareness. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to link thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are added to help people pause and choose their responses.
Narrative therapy is used to revisit personal stories and find alternatives that fit current goals. Caron holds three master’s degrees, including a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy from University of Phoenix-Pasadena, California, plus an MS in Psychology and an MBA. She has five years of clinical experience practicing in California as an LMFT.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, testable changes. She mixes talk-based work with body-focused awareness when stress shows up physically. The aim is to leave each session with one or two steps that are doable between meetings.
Readers will find a practical therapist who values measurable progress and real-life solutions. Caron invites people to begin by describing the immediate problem and a single hope for change.

Approaches that fit online care
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include worksheets, short experiments to try between meetings, and coaching on how to practice new responses to stress or anger.Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. In virtual sessions this can mean short guided exercises and real-time feedback on how to bring awareness into daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists observe facial and body cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
