About Trina
Trina Qualls-Dunaway is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania. She focuses on everyday pressures that wear people down, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps people tackle family concerns and offers coaching aimed at practical change.
Her approach is direct and supportive. She creates a calm space where clients can talk about what matters without feeling judged. Trina emphasizes clear, achievable goals so progress feels real and usable in day-to-day life.
She brings about 15 years of professional experience to sessions. That background includes helping people improve confidence, boost motivation, and manage emotional overwhelm. Clients can expect straightforward strategies and encouragement to try new ways of coping.
Trina works with people who want both short-term coaching and longer therapeutic work. She guides conversations so clients leave each session with one or two practical steps they can try between meetings. That makes the work feel manageable and relevant.
Therapy begins with a simple conversation about what the client most wants to change. From there she and the client build a plan that fits the client’s goals and daily life. This makes it easier to track progress and adjust the plan when needed.
How evidence-based techniques can work online
Many people find evidence-based approaches helpful because they focus on specific skills and changes. One common technique uses problem-solving and behavior strategies to reduce stress and anxiety by breaking problems into manageable steps and trying small experiments to test new habits. Another helpful approach focuses on building confidence and self-esteem through guided exercises, goal-setting, and regular review of progress to reinforce what is working.Finding the right technique is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That means trying a method, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule by removing commute time and allowing therapy during a lunch break or between errands. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use phone calls when bandwidth is limited, or opt for a shorter check-in when needed. These practical benefits help clients keep therapy consistent with daily life.
