Background and approach
The goal is to find approaches that fit each person’s life and pace. Caitlin draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses. She also uses client-centered practices to shape sessions around each person’s priorities.
For people with trauma, she brings trauma-focused techniques to help make difficult memories and reactions easier to handle. Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings and five years of clinical experience. That mix gives experience with short-term problem solving and longer-term concerns.
Caitlin tailors treatment plans to match what a person wants to change and how quickly they want to move. Sessions are conversational and practical. Caitlin aims to build skills, reduce overwhelm, and help people notice progress.
She supports people who are ready to try new ways of coping and to take steps toward clearer goals.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to you. The therapist offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space and works at your pace to clarify goals and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete tools to change them. It is used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions.
Caitlin treats choosing the right method as a team effort. She will talk with you about your goals, try approaches that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process aims to find techniques that feel useful and doable.
Online therapy lets people meet from different places and times using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter way to check in, and messaging works well for ongoing reflections or brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep regular momentum between meetings.
