About Caitlin

Caitlin Murray greets people who feel stuck by focusing on what they need now. She asks questions and listens to understand the habits and thoughts that get in the way. Caitlin encourages clients to name the patterns they want to change and to try small, doable steps toward a different life.

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW based in Tennessee and brings six years of clinical experience to sessions.

Background and approach

Caitlin's background began in addiction work, where she learned how depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma can feed harmful behaviors. That experience shaped how she cares for people facing substance use, grief, trauma, and major life changes. She also supports those navigating gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and relationship styles such as polyamory and kink-related issues.

In sessions she helps clients map connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sometimes that looks like a short written plan to process memories step by step. Other times it means practicing new ways to cope or noticing daily thinking patterns as a kind of homework.

Caitlin emphasizes practical tasks alongside talk so clients can try different choices between sessions. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive work for thinking patterns, narrative approaches for life stories, and skills for regulating intense emotions. She aims to meet people with respect and nonjudgmental support while helping them find new perspectives and habits.

People who choose Caitlin often want straightforward, hands-on help to change behaviors and rebuild self-worth. She guides rather than fixes, helping each person decide which methods fit their goals.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Cognitive work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. This approach helps when negative thinking drives behaviors like avoidance or substance use, and it teaches practical steps to shift those patterns.

Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their past. By retelling and reframing those stories, clients can claim different meanings and reduce the hold of painful memories or shame.

Emotion regulation skills provide concrete strategies to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behaviors. These skills are useful for panic, mood swings, trauma reactions, and situations that trigger strong responses.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Clients are invited to share their preferences and to shape the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions, send quick updates, or access support without scheduling a full call. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
