Approaches that guide online work
Trina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One common approach she draws on teaches people concrete coping skills to manage anxiety and stress, such as grounding, breathing, and behavioral strategies to reduce worry and reactivity. These techniques aim to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.Another set of approaches she employs addresses trauma and addiction by helping people understand patterns and triggers. This work often involves pacing sessions so difficult memories can be processed gradually while building safer routines and healthier habits to replace substance use or destructive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients take part in shaping what the sessions focus on and which skills to prioritize.
