About Cait

Cait encourages clients to tell their own stories and to use their strengths as the work moves forward.
She views each person as the expert on their life and aims to create a calm space for honest talk.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that feel doable between meetings. Cait supports people through grief, addiction-related worries, parenting strain, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar experience. Her approach draws on Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques.
That mix lets clients reframe painful stories, practice new behaviors, and reflect on what matters most. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are brought in to help with emotional regulation and immediate problem solving. With nearly two decades of professional experience, Cait has worked with a wide range of life challenges including abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and infidelity.
She also helps people coping with shame, guilt, isolation, and questions about life purpose. The work is collaborative and paced according to each person's goals. Cait offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and accepts clients who live outside the United States.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Many clients find Narrative Therapy useful for untangling the stories they tell about themselves. It helps people separate who they are from the problems they face and opens ways to imagine different paths forward. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to help people feel heard and to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person and adjust strategies as the work progresses, combining narrative, skills practice, and mindful exercises when useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people juggling busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when a shorter, written exchange is preferred. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
