About Caitlin

Caitlin Riggins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and coping with life changes. She works with clients facing trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem. Caitlin emphasizes partnership in sessions and centers the client's goals.

She has six years of clinical experience and holds the credential LCSW, with CSW also listed. Caitlin practices in Florida and carries experience supporting people through trauma processing, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm behaviors. Her background includes work across a range of mood and personality concerns.

In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside a solution-focused lens. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and tries to find small, practical steps toward the goals they name. She describes therapy as collaborative and respectful of the client as the expert on their life.

People can expect straightforward conversations, goal-setting, and skills practice when appropriate. Caitlin aims to support clients who want clearer thinking, steadier moods, or better ways to manage relationships. She focuses on what the client identifies as important and works at a pace that fits each person.

If someone is ready to start, the first step is a short questionnaire and scheduling through the site. The therapist then works with each person to build a plan that fits their needs and goals.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Online work can use cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation by teaching practical skills and habits that can be practiced between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. It helps clients define clear goals and try specific steps that build momentum and confidence. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports people processing past harm by pacing work carefully and focusing on safety and stabilization before deeper processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Caitlin will collaborate with each client to decide which methods feel most useful based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She aims to adjust techniques over time so sessions match what the client wants to achieve.

The site biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use online work to keep regular momentum between appointments while focusing on practical change and coping strategies.
