About Trina
Trina Kroening-Skime is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Wisconsin with three years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. Trina also addresses related concerns such as anger, guilt and shame, codependency, and mood or personality challenges.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can use day to day. Conversations tend to look at current patterns, what keeps them going, and small behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping strategies and handle difficult emotions more steadily.
Trina aims to be straightforward and respectful in sessions. She listens for how past experiences affect present choices and helps people notice repeated habits that cause pain. Work often includes identifying boundary patterns, managing urges around substance use, and handling anger or anxiety in ways that feel more manageable.
She pays attention to each person’s cultural background and life context when planning work together. Sessions can include skills practice, problem-focused discussion, and tracking progress between meetings. The overall focus is on clearer thinking and more reliable ways to respond to stressors.
If someone wants to begin, Trina asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and doing therapy online
Trina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses to reduce anxiety and depressive moods. This work focuses on concrete steps and practice rather than long explanations.Another approach concentrates on coping skills for trauma and addiction-related triggers. It teaches grounding, urge management, and short strategies to regain control when strong feelings or cravings arise. These methods aim to make everyday reactions more manageable and predictable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. The choice of technique is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match a person’s routine and the practical needs of their life.
