About Caitlin
Caitlin Merritt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or parenting concerns. She works with people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, grief, and career or identity questions. Caitlin writes plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Caitlin uses a client-centered approach, so sessions focus on each person's goals and pace. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas when those methods fit the issue. That means she will work with a person to identify unhelpful patterns, try new ways of coping, and look at how past experiences affect current reactions.
Sessions are interactive and solution-focused. Caitlin tailors conversation and plans to what a person needs right now, whether that is short-term coping or longer-term reflection. She names practical steps and supports building skills for everyday life.
Her background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Caitlin has about five years of clinical experience working directly with people facing a range of mood and adjustment concerns.
If someone is considering therapy, she asks them to think about their goals and come ready to set priorities. Caitlin aims to help people feel heard, make workable changes, and regain more control over daily life.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience, with the therapist listening and responding to what matters most to the client. This approach helps people gain clarity about their priorities and feel more in control of the pace of change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and teaches practical strategies for changing patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors because it emphasizes concrete skills and short-term goals.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and personal preferences and then recommend an approach or a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people choose surroundings that help them focus. Licensed professionals can use these methods to support practical skill building, address past difficulties, and work toward clearer goals.
