About Cait
Cait Farrell is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people tackle family and parenting concerns and related life stressors. She offers straightforward, practical support for issues like anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, grief, addiction, and difficulties with self-esteem. Her manner is warm and respectful, aimed at helping parents and adults find clearer paths forward when things feel overwhelming.
Cait emphasizes that each person knows their story best. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients identify the strengths they already have.
Background and approach
Sessions are built around small, doable steps that lead to change over time. Many people find this approach less intimidating than trying to fix everything at once. Her work draws on several practical methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to calm the body and focus attention in stressful moments. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used to rewrite difficult stories and try concrete strategies that can be tested between sessions.
Cait brings 18 years of experience as a Maine Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, ME LCPC CC4815. She aims to make therapy an accessible part of everyday life, meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that fits their needs. Parents and adults seeking clearer communication, better coping tools, or help navigating family transitions may find her practical, collaborative style helpful.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood and respected; it helps people clarify goals and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Techniques can be adjusted over time so sessions remain practical and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work from different locations, and use brief check-ins between longer sessions when helpful.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
