Background and approach

Trina helps people find coping strategies that fit their life and goals. Her work centers on each person's unique story. She listens for patterns that contribute to problems like mood disorders, anger, or substance use.

Then she and the client identify realistic skills to try between sessions. Trina also pays attention to how personality and relationship issues can affect well-being. She supports people dealing with codependency, avoidant or antisocial personality concerns, commitment issues, guilt, and shame.

Trauma-related struggles and post-traumatic stress are part of her focus as well. Sessions mix practical skill-building with reflective conversation. Clients who want straightforward strategies, accountability, and respectful listening often find this approach helpful.

Online support

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Trina uses contemporary evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on teaching skills and processing difficult experiences. One common approach helps people learn practical coping skills for anxiety and mood problems, such as breath work, activity planning, and simple behavioral experiments to test new habits. These techniques aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Another approach she uses focuses on processing trauma and its effects on emotion and behavior. This method involves careful, paced discussions about difficult events, learning safety and grounding practices, and building skills to manage triggers and intense feelings. It is meant to help people feel more steady over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work in therapy. Trina will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques based on what is working and what feels manageable for the client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging allows short reflections between sessions. These options help people fit care into busy lives and maintain continuity when in-person sessions are not possible.
