I am curious as to the devotions traditionally done by the laity in the Byzantine tradition to worship the Holy Trinity in an specific way. Thanks!!

Of course there is the Trisagion in the Divine Liturgy. Also there is an Akathist to the Holy Spirit, but I have not participated in it.
 
The entire Divine Liturgy is Trinitarian - every few minutes we’re making the Sign of the Cross and invoking the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Kinda hard to single out just one thing. 😉

There is hardly a prayer that is directed to one person of the Trinity and the other two is not mentioned at some point.
 
In the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, just after the Our Father, we continue to pray to God the Father as Master in the offering we make before reception of Holy Communion:

Deacon: Bow your heads to the Lord.

Response: To you, O Lord.

The celebrant or a concelebrant prays aloud: We give you thanks, O invisible King, for by your immeasurable power you have fashioned all things, and in the greatness of your mercy have brought all things out of nonexistence into being. Look down from heaven, O Master, upon those who bow their heads to you, for they do not bow to flesh and blood, but to you, the awesome God. Therefore, O Master, make smooth for the good of all the path that lies ahead, according to the need of each: sail with those who sail; travel with those who travel; cure those who are sick, O Physician of souls and bodies.

Through the grace, the mercies, and the loving- kindness of your only-begotten Son with whom you are blessed, together with your all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever and forever.
