Caitlin Dwyer(She/Her/Hers)

Caitlin Dwyer is a licensed clinical social worker based in Philadelphia offering online therapy for folks dealing with anxiety and wanting to improve stress management. Additionally, Caitlin specializes in working with both clients who have been affected by chronic illness (either as a patient or a caregiver) and those who are front-line clinicians in healthcare experiencing professional burnout. Clients come to Caitlin for help with their anxiety, depression, grief, wanting to process intense experiences they have had, and to learn how to build resilience and balance.

Caitlin believes in the power of authentic collaboration between client and therapist, and focuses on promoting healing through the therapeutic relationship. In session, she is committed to providing a space where the client feels safe and heard. Caitlin’s priority in session is to listen to a client’s story and support them in processing and reframing life experiences; this promotes the client’s empowerment, resiliency, and self-awareness. In addition, she incorporates practical strategies to help clients manage symptoms in the here and now. Caitlin knows that every client has unique needs and goals which benefit from a unique approach. As a result, Caitlin personalizes her sessions based on what would most benefit the client, drawing from psychodynamic theory, motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Caitlin received her master’s degree in social work from the University of Pennsylvania and also completed post graduate training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through the Beck Institute. Caitlin has worked with the National Organization for Rare Disorders and Nephcure, facilitating support groups for patients and caregivers around the country. In addition to private practice, Caitlin spent a decade working in the healthcare field, which introduced her to the unique challenges posed by chronic illness and with healthcare provider burnout.
