Caitlin LaVine, MD, LCSW-C

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Care

Caitlin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's concerns. She employs skills-based interventions to address stress and anxiety, teaching practical breathing, grounding, and coping strategies that help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. For addictions, she integrates motivational and relapse-prevention strategies that focus on identifying triggers, building coping plans, and strengthening commitment to recovery. In work with trauma and abuse, Caitlin applies trauma-informed principles that prioritize safety, stabilization, and gradual processing so clients can rebuild a sense of control and resilience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Caitlin partners with clients to explore which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow consistent continuity of care when attending in-person visits is difficult. Caitlin leverages these options to meet clients where they are and support steady progress toward their goals.
