About Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn Cozens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who centers her work on the person in front of her. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to help people build confidence and manage everyday struggles.

With five years of professional experience, Kaitlyn draws from several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical steps for managing emotions and behavior.

Kaitlyn believes people already hold strengths that can be used to move forward. In sessions she helps identify those strengths and tries small, concrete steps toward change. She works with concerns like panic and social anxiety, feelings of guilt or shame, and trouble with communication and isolation.

Clients may also bring work-related stress, money worries, or questions about life purpose, and Kaitlyn will break these issues into manageable goals. She uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term objectives and track progress together.

Her approach is collaborative and direct. She invites people to share where they are and what they want to change, then helps plan steps that fit their life and values.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead, clarify values, and build on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact; online CBT often uses simple worksheets, practice tasks, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kaitlyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adapts strategies over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to share tools, homework, and coping strategies that can be practiced between meetings.
