About Caron
Caron Trataris is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports people coping with parenting challenges, career strain, addiction concerns, anger, and life transitions. Her approach pays attention to both emotions and the body so clients can feel calmer and clearer over time.
Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Caron uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect.
Background and approach
She blends mindfulness practices to help people notice physical tension and pause before reacting. Somatic methods are included to help the body and mind settle together. Her background includes multiple graduate degrees and five years of clinical experience in California.
Caron earned a Master of Science in Counseling, Marriage, Child and Family Therapy from University of Phoenix-Pasadena and also holds a Master of Science in Psychology and an MBA from the same university. She practices with the LMFT credential CA LMFT 132339. In therapy she aims to create a steady, collaborative process.
People can expect clear goals, short-term strategies for coping, and attention to the body’s signals during stress. Sessions move at a pace that fits each person’s needs. Caron welcomes adults who want a practical path through difficult feelings and life changes.
She offers sessions in English and works with people across a range of family and caregiving challenges, aging concerns, midlife shifts, and issues such as hoarding and somatization.
Online methods that combine body‑aware work and practical strategies
Somatic Therapy focuses on how the body stores stress and tension and uses gentle awareness of sensations to help people calm physical responses. It can be useful for anxiety, somatization, and situations where bodily reactions get in the way of clear thinking.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that lead to distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems that affect daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person’s needs, and adjust plans together based on what helps. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill building, and attention to bodily signals when needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for somatic and conversational work. Phone sessions let people join without video, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or to practice skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity when schedules change.
