About Caley
Caley Markuson is an Oregon-licensed counselor with six years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Special Education from the University of Virginia and a Master of Science in School Counseling/Professional Counseling from Montana State University Northern. Caley has worked as a special education teacher and a school counselor, and she brings that background into her therapy work.
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, grief, anger, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, ADHD, seasonal affective disorder, workplace issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions use talk therapy alongside workbook activities drawn from current, research-based approaches.
Caley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy as part of her approach. She also incorporates mindfulness practices and trauma-focused techniques when they fit the situation. That means clients can expect practical exercises, thought records, and guided attention practices as tools to try between sessions.
Her background in Applied Behavior Analysis and behavioral methods informs how she structures interventions and homework. She attends conferences and trainings to stay current with therapeutic techniques. Caley combines an educational way of explaining things with concrete steps people can practice at home.
Outside of work she spends time outdoors, identifies wild plants, and enjoys off-road outings with her husband and two dogs. She invites those who are unsure about therapy to start by completing a short questionnaire to match with her and schedule a first session.
How her practical approaches translate online
Caley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses, often using worksheets, thought records, and short behavioral experiments. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person can clarify goals and make choices about next steps.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and support coping. These practices are brief, repeatable, and easy to use between sessions for stress, anxiety, or mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Caley will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She explains options, tries techniques in session, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
