I’m looking forward to the day progress, and the work that I’ll be putting in with the health and guidance from someone as professional, and understand you as Caitlin to help lead me on my path to view my own self, while being the best version of myself for the future me, thank you.

Hello and welcome! I'm so glad that you're here. My name is Caitlin Dow, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with 12 years of professional work experience. I have spent much of my career working with children, youth, young adults, and adults in various levels of care. I started my career working in a residential treatment center before pursuing a change to school-based services. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence, among other challenges that are unique to the individual. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and in meeting you exactly where you are in your life. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. Please know that I acknowledge and respect that building a trusting relationship takes time, but that you are not alone. I am here to support & empower you in this journey, and believe we will make a great team in tackling whatever goals you may have for yourself today and in the future!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
