Kaitlen Forman, LPC

Kaitlen Forman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She blends clear, goal-focused techniques with a warm, down-to-earth presence so conversations feel straightforward and useful. Kaitlen aims to make therapy a calm place to figure out next steps and build better daily habits.

She commonly applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered methods to address symptoms and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Sessions focus on concrete skills - for example changing unhelpful thoughts, building coping routines, and practicing emotional regulation - rather than long lectures or vague advice. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Kaitlen brings 11 years of counseling experience and holds LPC credentials in Texas and Arizona, though her practice is based in Texas. She has supported people facing relationship strain, family stress, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, struggles with addiction, issues around intimacy and self-esteem, and career or life-change decisions.

Her style is approachable and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set small, attainable goals and track progress. Sessions can include focused problem-solving, motivational interviewing to support change, and short-term coaching strategies when that fits the goal.

Outside of practice she values family time, reading, and travel, and she brings that same practical, relational sensibility into the therapy room.

How CBT and Skills-Based Methods Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with more useful habits. It often uses short exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice to change how a person thinks and acts. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers at their own pace. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress; it includes teaching concrete techniques people can use during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then use CBT, DBT skills, or client-centered techniques as needed. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth skill teaching and interactive exercises, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be good for short check-ins, quick coaching, or homework discussion. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical skill-building and progress.
