About Scotty

Scotty Caudill is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. He focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Scotty talks plainly and aims to make therapy feel doable for someone juggling work, family, and other demands.

He brings 25 years of experience in mental health settings, including community mental health, correctional settings, long-term care, and hospice.

Background and approach

That variety shaped his ability to adapt methods to different life situations and needs. He holds a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work. Scotty favors approaches that emphasize relationships and strengths.

He often uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify concrete goals and small changes that add up. He also uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In sessions he listens for what is most pressing and then works with the person to try practical, manageable steps.

He pays particular attention to how trauma affects both mental and physical wellbeing, and looks for ways to reduce those effects over time. Outside of work he enjoys reading post-apocalyptic and dystopian fiction and spending time in the Appalachian Mountains with his Great Pyrenees, Ghost. He aims to build a working relationship that supports steady progress and real-world change.

How these approaches work online

Scotty uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In CBT he and the client identify unhelpful thinking, test it, and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or worry. Solution-Focused Therapy is future-oriented and goal driven. This approach highlights existing strengths and small, achievable steps to move toward a clearer goal.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to choose methods that fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift between strategies as progress is made or new challenges appear, and the plan is shaped by regular check-ins with the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when someone needs less bandwidth or a quieter check-in. Live chat or messaging can fit short check-ins, homework review, or when a written mode helps someone reflect. These options make scheduling easier and let people access therapy from different places and routines.
