Background and approach
That classroom and school counseling experience informs how she explains things and sets goals with clients. In sessions she uses client-centered conversation alongside workbook activities. Clients can expect talk therapy, simple exercises, and skills they can practice between sessions.
She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help reduce anxious thoughts and manage stress. Caley also has training and experience with trauma-focused methods and behavioral approaches. She has worked with people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, seasonal mood shifts, ADHD, and workplace stress.
She keeps learning through conferences and online trainings to stay current with research-based tools. Outside of work she spends time outdoors, enjoys wild crafting and plant identification, and goes on drives with her two dogs and husband. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and useful for everyday life.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps the person set their own pace and direction. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through anxiety and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It often includes short homework tasks and workbook activities to practice new skills between sessions. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match goals and preferences. That partnership helps tailor sessions to what feels most helpful, whether reducing worry, managing trauma responses, or improving daily routines.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people maintain a face-to-face rhythm and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short updates, brief coaching between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and continue work from different locations.
