Cait Farrell, LCPC

Cait Farrell is a licensed counselor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and life transitions. She works with individuals facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, sleep and eating struggles, career questions, and mood challenges like depression and bipolar. Cait speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps a person can use between sessions.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings their own strengths to therapy. Sessions start by listening carefully to what matters most and then tailoring small, doable changes to daily routines and thinking patterns. Cait uses approaches that encourage steady progress rather than quick fixes.

With 18 years of work in the field and a Maine LCPC credential, she draws on a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, and client-centered listening. She often blends narrative and solution-focused techniques to help people reframe difficult experiences and set realistic goals.

Cait commonly helps people work through family-related stress, parenting strain, blended family issues, and communication problems. She also supports those coping with abandonment, infidelity, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose questions.

Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. People can expect clear tools to manage anxiety, concrete strategies for behavior change, and space to tell their story. The focus is on what a person wants to change and on practical steps toward that change.

How Cait’s Approaches Fit Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions are useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and habits that people want to change. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and working at the client’s pace, offering empathy and reflection to help a person make sense of their feelings.

The therapist will work together with each person to choose or combine approaches that fit their needs and goals. That choice is a shared process - goals, preferences, and the realities of daily life guide which techniques are tried and adjusted over time.

Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, journaling-style exchanges, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel schedules, while still focusing on real behavior changes and coping skills.
