How her approaches guide online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress when people want concrete tools to try between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. Sessions focus on listening, building on strengths, and shaping goals the client chooses, which can support parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and women’s issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Caitie collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. That choice is revisited as goals and needs change so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or fitting meetings into a lunch break. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. A shared plan will include how often to meet and which approach to use so the work fits everyday routines and goals.
