About Caitlin
Caitlin Riggins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting challenges, grief, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Caitlin also lists areas such as attachment issues and codependency among her focuses.
Her approach is collaborative. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and works alongside them to set goals. Sessions often use cognitive behavioral techniques alongside a solution-focused lens to look for practical shifts that can bring relief.
In practice she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tests small behavior changes to see what helps. She uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. The work is concrete and goal-oriented rather than abstract or vague.
Caitlin supports people who are navigating family conflicts, addiction concerns, or painful mood changes. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, isolation, and problems with control that often show up in close relationships. For parents she focuses on coping strategies and emotional regulation.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options and formats before booking to ensure they fit your needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT helps people notice and test thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood. In practice this looks like identifying a thought, trying a small behavior change, and reviewing what happened. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals. It is useful for people who want concrete changes in relationships, parenting, or daily routines. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on reducing the ongoing impact of past events and teaching ways to manage strong emotions and triggers. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion can change as progress is made and as different challenges come up. Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, and check in between appointments. They also allow therapists to use worksheets, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans that clients can apply in everyday situations, helping therapy work around life rather than the other way around.Areas of focus
