About Scotty
Scotty Caudill is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the fallout of trauma. He uses straightforward language and a practical focus to help people find ways forward. Scotty brings 25 years of experience to conversations and aims to build a working relationship that feels respectful and useful.
He often emphasizes the role of relationships in healing. That means paying attention to how connection, empathy, and empowerment shape recovery from trauma and long-term stress.
Background and approach
He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to help people spot strengths and take small steps toward their goals. Scotty has worked across community mental health, prison settings, long-term care, and hospice. Those roles shaped a pragmatic approach to care and an interest in how trauma affects both mental and physical health.
His background includes a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master in Social Work, and he holds Kentucky LCSW number 259732. In sessions he leans toward practical strategies like identifying habits that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps.
He pays attention to symptoms such as panic attacks, obsessive or compulsive patterns, and compassion fatigue, and looks for realistic ways to reduce their impact. Outside work he reads post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction and spends time in the Appalachian Mountains with his Great Pyrenees, Ghost. He aims to make therapy a collaborative process that fits each persons life and goals.
How these approaches translate to online care
Scotty uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that adapt well to online formats. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying small experiments to shift them; it is often useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and obsessive patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clients strengths and practical steps toward a preferred future, making sessions forward-looking and action-oriented.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to weigh their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That may mean combining short-term solution work with CBT-style exercises and checking progress together as therapy moves forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work or family demands and to continue planning and practicing strategies between meetings.
