If you're ready to do the work, I'm ready to help you get unstuck. I'm Caitlin, a
licensed clinical social worker in Virginia with four years of experience supporting
clients ages 9 and up. I specialize in life transitions, stress, anxiety, and mild to
moderate depression. My clients are ready and eager to make changes, and they're
not afraid to put in the hard work. I meet them exactly where they are, and I'd love to
connect.
For most of my clients, I use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. I am also certified in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is useful for clients who report negative cognitions (negative thoughts about themselves) due to traumatic events that they are unable to move forward from.
In our first session, my top priority is building real rapport and trust. I'll ask about
every part of your life to get a full picture of what you're going through, not just the
presenting issue. We'll talk about your goals, what has worked before (and what
hasn't), and how you'd like our work to unfold. You'll leave feeling heard, not judged,
and with a clearer sense of what's next.
