About Caley
Caley Markuson is a licensed counselor based in Oregon who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and the everyday strain of life changes. She also supports clients dealing with depression, career concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and workplace stress. Caley writes in clear, direct language and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Caley brings six years of counseling experience plus a background in special education and school counseling.
Background and approach
She holds a master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Virginia and a master’s in School Counseling/Professional Counseling from Montana State University Northern. She uses that combined classroom and counseling experience to make plans that fit real life. In sessions she leans on client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods.
Much of her work includes talking through problems, practicing skill-based exercises, and using workbook activities that clients can return to later. She keeps materials current by attending trainings and conferences. Caley often integrates behavioral strategies from her Applied Behavior Analysis background to shape practical routines and reduce distressing reactions.
She explains ideas in plain terms and helps clients pick a few manageable changes rather than overwhelming lists of tasks. Outside of counseling she spends time outdoors, foraging plants and riding a UTV with her husband and two dogs. She approaches each person as an individual and aims to create a calm, down-to-earth space to work through challenges.

Approaches that inform online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. It emphasizes understanding each person’s goals and working at a pace that feels right, which helps when addressing issues like anxiety, self-esteem, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks larger issues into concrete skills and homework-style exercises, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce stress, anger, and depressive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that fit. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the individual.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions can be easier when a lower bandwidth option is needed, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection and quick questions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, or parenting schedules while keeping consistent progress.
