She brings six years of counseling experience and a background in special education and school counseling.

Background and approach
Caley draws on approaches that center the person's experience and focus on skills people can use in daily life. Caley holds a master of arts in Special Education from the University of Virginia and a master of arts in School Counseling/Professional Counseling from Montana State University Northern.
She also has experience in Applied Behavior Analysis and behavioral therapy from her work in educational settings. Her practice includes attention to trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, workplace stress, seasonal mood shifts, intellectual disability, and autism and Asperger Syndrome as areas of focus. She attends conferences and trainings to keep current with new tools and workbook resources.
Outside of counseling, Caley enjoys time outdoors, wild crafting, and identifying plants. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and aims to make therapy feel manageable even when starting feels hard.
Practical approaches for online therapy and ADHD challenges
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and values. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps people find what feels most helpful for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and ADHD-related routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods based on needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single technique for everyone. That teamwork helps shape session plans and at-home activities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual worksheets. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, quick skill practice, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules and to continue progress when in-person visits are difficult.
