Trina Jones ArtisLCSW

Trina Jones Artis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Hawaii who focuses on practical, goal-oriented support. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and LGBT concerns. Trina frames clients as the experts in their own lives and offers guidance to build on existing strengths.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and Motivational Interviewing to tap into personal motivation. These approaches help people make steady changes rather than waiting for big breakthroughs.

Her experience includes three years of professional practice in varied settings. That time includes supporting people through life transitions, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, multicultural challenges, and issues connected to veteran and armed forces backgrounds.

Sessions are focused and straightforward. Trina helps clients identify small steps that fit daily life and build confidence. Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm and increase practical coping skills.

She encourages honest talk about what’s working and what needs changing. The work is collaborative - clients set priorities and Trina offers tools and feedback to move toward those goals.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to each person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals when facing stress, anxiety, or life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, achievable steps and practical strategies. This approach works well for people who want concrete ways to reduce overwhelm and build confidence quickly.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or uncertain about change. It draws out a person’s own reasons for change and helps turn ideas into action.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which method or combination fits current needs, goals, and preferences. This lets sessions stay relevant as priorities shift.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, offer shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Discuss options during the initial matching and scheduling steps to choose what fits daily life and personal routines.
