About Scotty
Scotty Caudill is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Kentucky with 25 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. He also focuses on forgiveness, obsessions and compulsions, panic disorder and post-traumatic stress.
Scotty prefers straightforward work that looks at what is happening now and what can be changed. He blends solution-focused ideas with attention to how relationships and past events affect current reactions. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then test small changes to see what helps.
He describes his practice as relationship-centered while using practical tools. For people affected by trauma he pays attention to both mental and physical responses and works to reduce their impact. For worry and panic he uses step-by-step techniques to manage symptoms and rebuild confidence in daily tasks.
Scotty has worked across community mental health, correctional settings, long-term care, and hospice. That range informs a practical approach to common problems and complex histories. He values clear goals and short-term strategies alongside longer term exploration when needed.
Outside of clinical work he reads post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction and spends time in the Appalachian Mountains with his Great Pyrenees, Ghost. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Translate to Online Sessions
Scotty uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a straightforward way: identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small, testable changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, obsessions, and low mood because it breaks problems into concrete steps to try and measure progress.He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on strengths and practical next steps. This approach helps clients set short-term goals and notice what is already working, so sessions stay focused on clear changes and achievable outcomes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then collaborate on a plan that may use CBT techniques, solution-focused steps, or both. That plan can change as progress is reviewed.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people use online appointments to make regular check-ins easier and to try brief skills practice between in-person options.
