About Cait
Cait Farrell is a licensed clinician who focuses on helping parents and individuals navigate stressful life moments. She draws on 18 years of experience to help people manage anxiety, mood concerns, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Her approach is straightforward and practical so busy adults can use what they learn right away.
She begins by listening closely to each person's story and strengths. From there she helps set small, achievable goals and chooses tools that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
That can mean working on thought patterns that fuel anxiety, practicing concrete communication skills, or building routines that support better sleep and mood. Cait uses client-centered work to make space for each person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness strategies and narrative approaches help people notice patterns and rewrite difficult stories they tell themselves. Many clients come for parenting support, stress management, coping with life changes, or grief and loss. Others seek help for addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, or compassion fatigue from caregiving roles.
Cait adapts the work to the problem at hand and to what a person feels ready to try. Sessions move at a practical pace. Cait helps people practice new skills between meetings and track small progress.
Her goal is to help people feel more capable, clearer about choices, and better able to handle the next challenge.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you so the therapist can follow your lead and help you build on your strengths. This approach helps with parenting worries, relationship strain, and general life stress by making space for your goals and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and targets small changes that add up over time. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing mood swings by teaching practical skills you can practice between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose approaches that match your goals, preferences, and what you find most helpful. That plan can shift as you try things and notice what works best.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing reflection between longer meetings. These options make therapy more flexible so it can fit work, parenting, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
