About Caley

LPC, LCPC in Oregon with six years of counseling experience, Caley Markuson focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, grief, anger, ADHD, and trauma-related issues. She combines a background in special education and school counseling with clinical counseling skills. Sessions use talk therapy and workbook-based activities informed by researched approaches such as cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. Caley holds a master’s in Special Education from the University of Virginia and a master’s in School Counseling/Professional Counseling from Montana State University Northern.

Caley draws on person-centered direction while integrating structured strategies when useful. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine patterns of thinking and behavior. Mindfulness practices are offered to build moment-to-moment awareness and coping skills. Trauma-focused ideas inform work with traumatic stress and abuse-related concerns.

Her prior work in schools and special education shapes how she explains ideas and plans sessions. Workbook exercises and brief skill-building tasks are common between sessions. She also brings experience with Applied Behavior Analysis and behavioral approaches when planning concrete behavior changes.

Caley keeps learning through conferences and trainings and updates her workbook library regularly. She often blends conversational therapy with short, practical assignments clients can try between meetings. This approach aims to make sessions understandable and useful for everyday life.

Outside of practice she spends time outdoors, often with her two dogs and husband, and pursues plant identification and wild crafting. This personal interest informs her preference for practical, nature-minded examples when explaining coping tools.

Therapeutic approaches used during online work

Caley commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaching practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches moment-to-moment awareness and simple practices that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust strategies based on what the client prefers and what helps most. Collaboration guides whether more structured CBT tasks or gentler person-centered conversation and mindfulness practices are emphasized.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into daily life easier by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or enabling appointments during breaks from work. Talk therapy combined with workbook activities also translates well to remote meetings, letting clients review materials between sessions and bring questions to the next appointment.
