Caitlin Riggins, LCSW, CSW

Caitlin Riggins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges around parenting and relationships. She brings six years of clinical experience and aims to support people through hard life changes and substance-related struggles. Caitlin works with issues like grief, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and problems tied to identity and LGBT questions.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She treats each person as the expert on their life and partners with them to set clear goals. Caitlin often uses cognitive behavioral ideas alongside a solution-focused attitude to identify what is getting in the way and test small, practical changes.

In sessions she helps people unpack trauma, manage overwhelming feelings, and build coping tools for everyday life. She also addresses attachment patterns, codependency, control issues, and addictive behaviors in straightforward steps that are easy to try between meetings.

Caitlin holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Florida. Her work includes attention to postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, forgiveness, and healing from shame and isolation. She encourages people to notice small gains and to build on them one step at a time.

Starting therapy with her means setting clear, achievable goals and checking progress often. The focus is practical progress - learning skills, shifting patterns, and making daily life feel more manageable.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and actions and replace them with more effective patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when you want concrete tools to change day-to-day reactions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their hold on daily life. It supports people working through post-traumatic stress, intense memories, and the emotional aftermath of abuse.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then test approaches together. If a strategy doesn't fit, she adjusts it and looks for alternatives that feel more useful.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose options that reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can offer focused skill work, trauma processing, and solution-focused planning in ways that aim to fit everyday life rather than disrupt it.
