Online approaches that fit your life

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and building new coping habits.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s goals. The therapist offers support and reflection so the client can decide what change feels right and move at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Caitlyn will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls make it easy to have face-to-face conversations without travel. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share updates between meetings and fit therapy into a busy day. These formats provide flexibility so therapy can blend into work, school, or family life.
