Caitlin Singletary, LA Psychologist 1258

Caitlin Singletary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a central tool to help people make practical changes in their daily thoughts and behaviors. She is a Louisiana psychologist with 14 years of professional experience. Caitlin writes in plain terms and focuses on clear goals people can use between sessions.

She grew up in south Louisiana and earned a doctorate from Louisiana Tech University in 2012. Her background includes work in private practice and at a VA hospital. That mix gives her experience with a range of concerns from depression to trauma-related problems.

Caitlin helps people who are dealing with depression, grief, relationship strain, gender dysphoria, and life transitions. She also offers support around chronic illness, caregiver stress, fertility and reproductive mental health, and issues connected to cancer and hospice care. Communication problems, blended family challenges, and infidelity are other areas she commonly addresses.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused techniques. Sessions typically focus on identifying practical steps, building on strengths, and testing small changes that add up over time.

Caitlin holds the credential LA Psychologist 1258 and practices in Louisiana. She works with people in English and does not accept international clients. She encourages people to view themselves as the expert on their own story and to use therapy as a place to try out new ways of coping and relating.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like low mood and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to uncover what matters most and to build on existing strengths. Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation is mixed or change feels hard by exploring ambivalence and drawing out the person’s own reasons for change.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has and hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the issue and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video allows for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, reflection between sessions, or when writing helps a person express themselves more clearly. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, care schedules, or medical routines while keeping treatment focused on practical steps and meaningful goals.
