01 · Who Kaitlyn works with
Kaitlyn lists 5 specialisms and 6 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Kaitlyn chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

So… how are you, really? Life can feel pretty chaotic, and it’s easy to feel lost. My goal is to help you sort through that chaos and make things feel a little more manageable. Anxiety and grief can be exhausting- they can take over your thoughts, your body, and your day. Using a blend of solution-focused strategies and good old-fashioned talk therapy, we’ll work together to quiet that anxiety brain and build tools that actually feel doable.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work with a focus in grief therapy. Later I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist. Over the years, I’ve supported clients through outpatient counseling, family therapy, intensive in-home work, group therapy, and medical social work with chronically ill patients. I am passionate about helping folks who are grieving not just death- but the loss of hope, disappointment, and change.
When I’m not in the therapy space, I’m working in a K–12 school division, supporting students and helping bring mental health prevention efforts to my rural community. I’m also a mom, so I love connecting with other caregivers about the real, everyday challenges of raising little humans. Outside of work, I’m a fan of breakfast foods, a good book, and-thanks to my kids-a fair amount of Gabby Dollhouse… or Paw Patrol… or whatever the show of the week is!
I’m really looking forward to getting to know you.

03 · What happens next
Kaitlyn 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 Kaitlyn'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 Kaitlyn at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kaitlyn 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 Kaitlyn.
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.
