How therapy approaches work online with this clinician
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching skills to manage reactions and build new routines.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responding to what the person brings to sessions. It helps people feel heard and supported while they identify their own goals and move at their own pace. This approach can be helpful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and exploring personal values.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Caitlin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust as progress is made so the plan stays useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use a short-format option for ongoing support. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
