Caitlin Riggins, LCSW, CSW

Caitlin Riggins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, grief, and trauma. She works with those dealing with self-esteem concerns, bipolar mood issues, and life transitions. Caitlin practices in Florida and brings six years of clinical experience to sessions.

She approaches therapy as a team effort and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions often focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings. Caitlin blends cognitive behavioral ideas with a solution-focused outlook to help people clarify goals and try manageable changes.

In trauma work she aims to create steady progress rather than rushing healing. For addiction-related concerns she helps people look at triggers, coping strategies, and patterns that keep problems repeating. She also addresses attachment and codependency issues in ways that connect current behavior to past experiences.

Caitlin supports parents who are struggling with postpartum mood changes, stress, or family conflict. She also works with people facing shame, guilt, isolation, jealousy, paranoia, or personality-related struggles. Her approach combines listening with clear, small-step strategies to move toward stated goals.

People who choose her can expect practical conversation, goal-setting, and collaborative planning. Caitlin emphasizes clear next steps and follows the pace that each person sets as they work toward change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In sessions this often means tracking patterns, trying small experiments, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear goals and what changes will make life better. Therapy sessions concentrate on strengths, past successes, and step-by-step plans to move toward specific outcomes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the ways past events affect current functioning. Work is paced to build stability first, then process traumatic material when the person feels ready.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they tailor methods so sessions match the client’s needs and pace.

Confirm session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or evenings for sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, solution-focused work, and trauma processing to an online setting while keeping practical skill practice central.
