About Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn Baker is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and has ten years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those dealing with life changes, relationship concerns, workplace strain, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Kaitlyn uses straightforward conversation to clarify what is causing distress and where change would help most. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's own goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills for managing intense feelings and impulsive reactions.
When trauma is part of the picture, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside other approaches to reduce the hold of painful memories. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who feel stuck or uncertain about making changes. The practical aim is better ways to respond when anger, frustration, or stress start to escalate.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She talks through options and helps people pick tools that fit their day-to-day life. Sessions focus on short, usable strategies as well as longer-term patterns that keep problems repeating.
Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and priorities, with the therapist asking questions and reflecting back what matters most. This helps when anger or workplace stress feel overwhelming because the focus stays on what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches specific practices to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is useful for managing repeated patterns like snapping at coworkers or building resentment in relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for regulating emotions and tolerating distress, including short strategies for calming down and step-by-step plans for handling triggers.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try strategies together so the client can see what fits their goals and daily life. That decision is guided by the client's needs, preferences, and what works in practice rather than a fixed plan.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth and work well when a brief focused skill practice is the goal. The emphasis is on making therapy practical and usable within everyday routines.
