Caitlin Merritt

Caitlin Merritt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and related concerns. She works with issues like depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and transitions in life. Her tone is practical and direct, aimed at people looking for clear steps forward.

She uses a solution-focused and interactive style so sessions stay goal-oriented and collaborative. Caitlin combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic ideas to match each person’s needs. That means sessions can include talking through patterns, trying new coping strategies, and reflecting on how past experiences shape current reactions.

Her background includes a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. She has five years of experience working as a psychotherapist with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, adoption and foster care topics, body image, and young adult issues.

Caitlin tailors the pace and tools to each person. Some people focus on short-term skills for managing anger and anxiety. Others look at deeper relationship or mood patterns over time. She aims to help people set clear goals and track small changes that build more control and confidence.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical skills to manage anger, anxiety, and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective. It aims to create a respectful, collaborative space where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This may mean trying short-term skill-building first, then shifting to deeper reflection if needed; the plan can change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from wherever someone is located. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or avoid being on camera when that feels uncomfortable. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to match practical needs while focusing on useful strategies for anger, stress, and related concerns.
