About Trina
Trina Jones Artis is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Hawaii. She draws on three years of professional experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and challenges tied to LGBT identity and self esteem. Trina emphasizes practical steps and clear goals to make therapy feel useful from the start.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and build on existing strengths. She uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable steps and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to those steps.
Trina also uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. That means the pace and focus are set by the person in therapy rather than by the therapist. This can help when people are coping with loss, life transitions, or challenges after becoming a parent.
She has worked with issues tied to young adulthood, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and multicultural or veteran-related concerns. Trina aims to translate therapy into day-to-day changes people can notice between sessions.
Taking the first step can feel hard. Trina supports people through that beginning phase and works collaboratively to set realistic goals. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether her practical, strength-based style will fit their needs.
