About Caitlin

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with six years of experience. Caitlin Riggins helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addiction, grief, and trauma. She also focuses on parenting challenges, self-esteem, bipolar conditions, and coping with life changes.

Caitlin uses a collaborative style. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and works together to set clear goals. Sessions commonly use cognitive behavioral ideas alongside solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused work when relevant.

In practical terms she helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes to test what works. She also supports steps for safety and stabilization when trauma or self-harm have been part of someone's experience. The tone in sessions is direct and goal-oriented rather than abstract or purely reflective.

Her clinical background includes six years of practice as an LCSW and work with a broad range of concerns, from substance use and codependency to postpartum depression and personality-related struggles. Caitlin draws on specific strategies from CBT and solution-focused work to make progress in a limited number of sessions when possible.

People who choose her typically want straightforward, practical steps as well as space to talk through painful experiences. She helps set measurable goals, track progress, and adjust methods if something isn’t working. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Online sessions often use methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and trauma symptoms. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings, and uses short experiments and practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on safety, grounding, and processing traumatic memories in manageable steps, and can help reduce the intensity of trauma reactions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about goals, current struggles, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust techniques as needed and track progress so methods match the client’s priorities and preferences.

This listing does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can slot into a lunch break, phone-based sessions use less bandwidth, and remote meetings remove commute time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and solution-focused steps to work in a digital session while keeping sessions focused on measurable goals and practical strategies.
