More about Caitlin

  • Female
  • LICSW

I have a strong passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults. In addition to my clinical work, I bring a unique background as a competitive swim coach, an experience that informs her therapeutic style through an emphasis on teamwork, goal setting, resilience, and a solution-focused approach. I value creating a collaborative and engaging therapeutic environment, and believe that meaningful progress is often fostered when humor, play, and authentic connection are thoughtfully incorporated into the work.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
