About Caitlin
Caitlin Riggins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and coping with life changes.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Caitlin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She works collaboratively, asking clients what goals matter most and checking what’s working as therapy progresses.
Sessions tend to be structured and goal-oriented. Caitlin breaks bigger problems into manageable steps and practices skills in session that clients can use between meetings. She also applies trauma-focused techniques when past events are getting in the way of daily functioning.
Her approach emphasizes straightforward techniques over long explanations. Clients can expect to map patterns, test new responses, and review progress each week. Caitlin explains methods in everyday language and focuses on concrete next steps.
She has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including addiction, bipolar issues, postpartum depression, self-harm, and personality-related difficulties. Caitlin also works with issues related to attachment, codependency, control struggles, guilt and shame, isolation, and jealousy. Her practice operates from Florida and sessions are conducted in English.
How her approaches work for online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. It is practical and suits worries like anxiety, low mood, or patterns that repeat in relationships.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear goals and using brief, concrete steps to move toward them. This approach is useful when someone wants focused change or a short-term plan for a specific problem.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing the impact of past events and building coping skills to reduce their hold on daily life. It is applied when trauma memories, flashbacks, or strong emotional reactions interfere with functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the approach as needed based on how the work is going.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also adapt techniques for sessions that do not use video, for meetings that need to be quicker, or for pacing that suits a client's daily routine.
