About Kaitlyn

LCSW in California with 5 years of professional experience, Kaitlyn Cozens focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in California. Kaitlyn frames therapy as a practical process rather than a lecture or checklist.

Kaitlyn views each person as the expert on their own life and starts by listening carefully. She helps people identify what already works for them and build on those strengths. That often means breaking worries into small, manageable steps and testing what changes help day to day.

When anxiety or panic come up, she may use CBT techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. For emotional regulation and distress tolerance, she draws on DBT skills to teach concrete ways to calm intense feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term goal setting and quick progress checks.

She addresses relationship and communication problems by practicing clear, direct ways to express needs and set boundaries. For issues like shame, guilt, isolation, or life-purpose questions, sessions mix practical tools with space to reflect on values. Financial stress and workplace problems are approached with behavior-focused plans and problem-solving.

Kaitlyn asks people to try small actions between sessions and reviews what changed. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person's lead, clarifies goals, and helps people notice what already helps them. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, isolation, and life-purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is used for anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms by testing small behavioral experiments and tracking patterns between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These techniques help when impulsivity, intense feelings, or relationship conflicts make daily life harder. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses to make sure the methods match what the person wants to achieve. Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins, and allow skills practice in everyday contexts. Discussing practical scheduling and which tools to use happens during the intake and helps shape how sessions will run.
