About Kaitlen
Kaitlen Forman takes a straightforward, person-focused approach to therapy. She combines a warm, down-to-earth style with practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Kaitlen is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and she aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what’s hardest right now.
Kaitlen blends client-centered listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That means she listens first, and then offers tools to change unhelpful thinking and build better daily habits.
Background and approach
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused work when people need skills for emotion regulation or short-term goal progress. Clients commonly come for relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction-related challenges, and issues around career and self-esteem. Kaitlen focuses on practical steps that fit into busy lives, not long lectures or vague theory.
Sessions usually include clear strategies and simple homework to try between meetings. With 11 years of experience, she brings steady clinical time and real-world perspective to sessions. She draws on life experience as a parent and partner to connect with everyday struggles without judgment.
Kaitlen’s style is direct but compassionate, aiming to get people moving toward their goals. If someone is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, she encourages a first conversation to map out achievable next steps and a plan that fits daily life.
How key approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist provides empathy and reflective feedback to help clients feel heard and to clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping when stress feels overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will pick methods that fit the person's life and adjust the plan over time if something isn’t working well. This keeps therapy collaborative and goal oriented.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and do longer, in-depth work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, skill reminders, and flexible communication between sessions. These options support consistent progress while matching the practical needs of daily life.
