02 · In Caitlin's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a broad range of experience across community mental health, university counseling centers, residential treatment, crisis response services, and integrative behavioral health. While I have worked with clients as young as five, my practice now focuses on adults across all phases of life. I specialize in trauma treatment which is my passion. I am EMDR trained and have adapted this modality for the virtual platform, and I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, practicing from a trauma-informed lens throughout. As a therapist, I believe the relationship we form is central to change and transformation. Before I can enter a client's world, they must feel truly seen, understood, and validated - and building that trusting relationship is at the heart of my work with every client. My graduate and post-graduate training centered cultural humility as a cornerstone of practice, recognizing that each person's identities are central to their experience. I have worked extensively with underserved populations, and I've had the privilege of mentors, colleagues, and educators who challenged me to broach culturally sensitive topics to better understand each client's experience within our society. I've worked with individuals facing PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, relationship difficulties, depression, and generalized anxiety, as well as helping professionals navigating compassion fatigue and burnout. I also enjoy supporting clients as they explore career goals, aspirations, and barriers - helping them find work that feels meaningful and purposeful. My clinical approach draws on Person-Centered therapy, CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), humanistic, and psychodynamic frameworks. I tailor this to what each client needs, whether that means exploring deep-rooted issues from childhood, understanding and altering relational patterns, addressing present-day symptoms, or building a strong toolkit of coping strategies for everyday well-being. You are the guide in this experience. Everyone is worthy. Everyone has a story. Everyone has strengths. Everyone deserves support. I'm excited to work with you and be part of your journey forward!

03 · What happens next
Caitlin practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Caitlin's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Caitlin at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Caitlin is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Caitlin.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Caitlin actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Caitlin's - Caitlin has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Caitlin's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Caitlin. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
