Caitlin is amazing! She has helped me grow a ton and has helped me through a lot of past traumas and anxieties. She is very comforting and kind, but also calls me out when I need to hear it. Highly recommend.
More about Caitlin
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
With a Bachelors Degree in Psychology, Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling, as well as a full license (LMHC) to work in NYS, I am a counselor with a true passion for helping others. Personal experiences throughout life give me a unique and deep understanding, beyond my education, of the way mental health can influence and affect our population in a negative way. This also is directly related to my extreme levels of empathy and compassion when counseling individuals. I attribute much of my success as a counselor to my ability to relate, empathize, and understand my clients in addition to using therapeutic based skills learned throughout my 7 years of experience. I have been exposed to varying disorders including co-occuring disorders, diverse cultures, ethnicities, religions, ages, genders, and sexual orientations. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & depression. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Caitlin is extremely helpful, kind, and supportive. She is engaging throughout the week via messaging with well thought out messages pertaining to my journal entries and during our sessions each week she asks thought-provoking questions regarding what I’m discussing with her and she’s great at making sure I feel understood while we are working through things. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!
