About Caitlyn
Caitlyn Schmidt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and anger. Caitlyn speaks plainly and aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Her approach centers on listening first and helping people identify small, useful changes. Caitlyn uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Caitlyn works with adults on problems tied to relationships, family dynamics, parenting concerns, career strain, and life transitions. She also helps people coping with trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to identity and self-worth.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills that carry into daily life. In sessions, Caitlyn aims to balance empathy with action. Conversations often include problem-solving, skill practice, and planning next steps.
She encourages small experiments clients can try between meetings to see what helps. For parents feeling drained or uncertain, she offers straightforward strategies for boundary-setting, communication, and managing stress. Caitlyn frames each plan around what fits the person’s life and responsibilities, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client’s lead, offering empathy, and building a working relationship that centers on the person’s goals. Online sessions let this style continue through conversation and collaborative planning, whether by video or messaging. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses clear steps to notice thoughts, test them, and try different actions; it lends itself to structured exercises that can be assigned and reviewed between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Caitlyn collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. Together they review what helps and adjust pacing, tools, and homework so therapy fits schedules and energy levels.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick support, ongoing problem-solving, or tracking progress between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and other responsibilities while keeping the focus on skill-building and real-world change.
