Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps the client can try between meetings. Caitlin combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with a solution-focused lens to make therapy concrete and usable. In a typical session she helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Then she works with them to develop alternative ways of thinking and acting that feel more effective. For people who have experienced trauma, she incorporates trauma-focused strategies to address distressing memories and reactions. Caitlin also pays attention to relationship dynamics such as attachment, codependency, control issues, and family problems.
She offers guidance around substance use, coping with loneliness, jealousy, guilt, and building self-compassion. Her approach is direct but empathetic, aiming to make change feel possible. Clients can expect clear discussion about goals, practical skill-building, and a plan tailored to their needs.
Caitlin supports each person in taking small, steady steps toward healthier daily routines and better emotional balance.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping by teaching concrete thinking and behavior changes.Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what clients want to achieve and the small steps that lead there. It is useful for people who want quick, practical strategies to move past a problem and build on strengths.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses reactions to traumatic events by helping people process memories and reduce distressing symptoms. It is used when past experiences continue to affect current mood and functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match goals, needs, and preferences to an approach or combination of approaches. This decision is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or easier when video is not ideal. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use written communication when that fits their schedule. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and keep steady momentum toward goals.
