01About Caley
Caley Markuson is a licensed counselor practicing in Oregon who focuses on stress, anxiety, self esteem, career concerns, depression, grief, anger, ADHD, and trauma. She draws on six years of counseling experience and combines practical tools with conversational support. Her style is straightforward and approachable for people who feel overwhelmed by day-to-day life.
She trained in special education and school counseling and holds a master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Virginia and a master’s in School Counseling/Professional Counseling from Montana State University Northern.
Background and approach
Those classroom and school settings shaped her skill with behavioral strategies and clear, step-by-step interventions. In sessions she uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. That means she listens first, then helps people test new thoughts and try small behavior changes.
Workbook activities and short exercises are often used between sessions to build momentum. She also draws from trauma-focused approaches when past events are affecting daily life. Caley keeps up with current research and attends trainings and conferences to sharpen her practice.
Her background in Applied Behavior Analysis supports practical plans for managing challenging patterns. Outside of work she spends time in nature, wild crafting plants, and riding with her family and dogs. She aims to make beginning therapy simple and practical so people can move forward from stress and find clearer ways to cope.

How Caley’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and action. It breaks problems into small, testable steps and uses short exercises to shift thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Caley will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those needs. That process is collaborative - goals and methods can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they want that connection. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter call is needed. Live chat and text options make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day or to use written exercises and worksheets between meetings. These options help people access therapy in ways that fit their schedule and comfort level.
