More about Kaitlin

  • 5 years' experience

  • LMHC, LCMHC

In my experience, I have noticed that my clients know themselves better than anyone which makes them the best resource when it comes to treatment. Therapy is a joint venture or partnership where both of our knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions that work best for you. A good therapeutic relationship includes multiple aspects; however, I feel the most important are trust, authenticity, freedom, and positive outcomes.

My name is Kaitlin Therien, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I utilize a collaborative, individualized approach with each and every client. Working together, I encourage you to find happiness and meaning within your life. I will support and validate my clients using Solution Focused, Strength-based, Person-centered, Trauma-informed approaches, along with mindfulness techniques, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT).

I have 5 plus years of experience working with people of all ages, in a variety of settings, from residential placements all the way to community based therapy.

I feel it is important to establish a warm, non-judgmental, safe space for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings with courage and a sense of curiosity. My primary interest is working with adolescents and young adults with depression, anxiety, difficulty with mood regulation, substance use, stress management, life transitions, trauma, grief, career/academic performance enhancement, and healthy relationships.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
