More about Caitlin
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I have a strong passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults. In addition to my clinical work, I bring a unique background as a competitive swim coach, an experience that informs her therapeutic style through an emphasis on teamwork, goal setting, resilience, and a solution-focused approach. I value creating a collaborative and engaging therapeutic environment, and believe that meaningful progress is often fostered when humor, play, and authentic connection are thoughtfully incorporated into the work.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
