Teletherapy and collaborative care
Caitlin favors a solution-focused approach that highlights clear goals, small measurable steps, and regular review of progress. This practical orientation helps shape sessions so that each meeting targets specific concerns and builds momentum. For younger clients she also incorporates elements of play and humor to foster engagement and make skill-building feel achievable and relevant.
Her coaching background informs a teamwork-based style that centers joint problem solving, resilience training, and deliberate goal setting. Conversations are collaborative: Caitlin works with each person to define priorities, choose strategies, and adapt plans over time. This approach can suit those who like a mix of structure and relational support.
She provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to match communication methods to their needs while maintaining an ongoing therapeutic relationship focused on steady progress.
