How Caitlyn’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experiences, offering a listening space that keeps the pace and priorities set by the client. It helps people feel heard and better understand what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises and thought-behavior tracking to identify unhelpful patterns and build new coping skills, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what’s working.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines. Video calls are good for full sessions with face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick skill coaching, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice new skills between sessions.
