Rituja Kapoor, LICSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Washington with 15 years of experience supporting people through difficult emotional experiences, with a dedicated focus on trauma and abuse and post-traumatic stress. Her work is centered on helping clients make sense of what happened to them and how those experiences may still be showing up in thoughts, feelings, and day-to-day life.
She is currently participating in a consultation group for Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a trauma-specific form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This structured approach is designed for focused trauma work, and she is especially interested in working with clients who want to concentrate on trauma-related concerns and symptoms using this modality. CPT is often completed in approximately 12 weeks, offering a clear framework for clients who are seeking a more time-limited, skills-based path for trauma treatment.
At this time, her practice is the best fit for individuals whose primary goal is trauma-focused therapy. She welcomes clients who are ready to engage in this kind of work and is committed to partnering with them in a focused, supportive process.
Trauma-focused approaches, supported through online therapy
Rituja Kapoor’s work is grounded in evidence-informed trauma treatment, with a focus on helping clients address the impact of trauma and abuse and post-traumatic stress in everyday life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It can help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding, which is often useful when trauma-related stress affects sleep, mood, relationships, or daily functioning.
Trauma-Focused Therapy builds on that structure by keeping the work centered on how traumatic experiences may still be affecting the present. It supports clients in processing trauma-related beliefs and reactions at a steady pace, with clear goals and a focus on building coping skills along the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rituja Kapoor collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most workable right now, then uses that shared plan to guide sessions over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with care, whether you prefer face-to-face conversation or a written format you can return to between sessions.
