Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Caitlin uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative, respectful relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals, and it can be helpful for people navigating life changes, relationship struggles, or feelings of emptiness.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for depression and anxiety and offers practical strategies for coping with daily challenges and improving mood.

For clients affected by trauma, Caitlin incorporates Trauma-Focused approaches to address the ways traumatic experiences influence thoughts, feelings, and functioning. These methods aim to process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on present-day life.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Caitlin works with each person to determine which therapies align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Caitlin offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and support can also take place through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to stay connected when in-person visits are not possible.
