How Caitlyn’s Approaches Work for Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and low motivation.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's pace and perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and feel more confident over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Caitlyn works with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered work, or a mix of both fits best. Goals, preferences, and the specific issues people bring guide how sessions are structured.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins during a workday, and help people meet regularly while juggling family and job demands. Confirm the current session options before booking to learn what formats are offered. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in an online setting and help people apply new skills in everyday situations.
