About Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn Everingham is an AASW social worker in Australia with seven years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, career concerns and coping with life changes, and also works with issues of guilt and shame. She offers direct, practical work that helps people talk through what is happening and decide on next steps.
Her earlier roles included work in homelessness services and leadership. That background gave her experience with a wide range of mental health needs and an understanding of how housing, work and money affect wellbeing. She uses that perspective when helping clients with workplace stress and money or financial issues.
Kaitlyn draws on several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-focused ideas alongside client-centred conversations. She also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and motivational interviewing where helpful.
Sessions are practical and focused on what matters day to day. People can expect to talk about thoughts, feelings and behaviour, try small experiments between sessions, and practice coping skills for panic, anxiety and stress. Guilt and shame are named areas she will address directly.
Her social work training means she looks beyond symptoms to how life systems are affecting someone. That might include work demands, housing, money or relationships. To begin, people select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapy approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when shame or guilt makes it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kaitlyn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences and what comes up in early sessions. That collaborative process helps tailor the focus without assuming one method will suit everyone.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work, family and appointments around therapy. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or let someone choose to be off camera if that helps. Appropriate arrangements are discussed and decided together so sessions fit into everyday life.
