About Trina

LCSW in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience, Trina Qualls-Dunaway helps people manage stress, anxiety, family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and career coaching. She offers direct, practical support aimed at getting through immediate problems and building clearer next steps. Trina speaks English and practices in Pennsylvania as an LCSW.

Trina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and worry. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small, concrete changes. She also works with people who want coaching around work motivation and professional confidence.

Her approach is straightforward. She listens to what is happening now and what is most disruptive. Then she helps set short-term goals and practical actions to test what works. Conversations are meant to be clear and problem-focused rather than abstract.

Trina has spent 15 years in clinical and coaching roles. That experience includes supporting adults with depression, anxiety, and family conflict. She uses that background to guide sessions toward skills and decisions that fit a person’s life.

People can expect check-ins on progress and adjustments to the plan as needed. Sessions balance talk with specific steps to reduce stress or improve confidence. For those seeking help with work-related goals, coaching conversations emphasize motivation and professional growth.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Trina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at solving present problems and building practical skills. One common approach focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood; it helps by breaking problems into small, testable steps. Another approach emphasizes short-term goal setting and behavioral activation to improve motivation and lift depressive symptoms; it centers on scheduling manageable activities and measuring their effect on mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process lets clients see what fits their needs and preferences over a few sessions.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work breaks, or commuting by removing the need to travel. It also lets conversations focus on practical problem solving and short check-ins when that suits the client’s schedule.
