About Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn Everingham is an AASW social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety and panic attacks. She has seven years of professional experience and aims to make first steps feel achievable for worried parents and busy carers.
Kaitlyn keeps sessions straightforward. She listens, helps people name what is happening, and works with them to try practical steps that fit day-to-day life. She offers a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement.
Her background includes work in homelessness services and leadership roles where she provided professional supervision. That experience shaped her interest in workplace stress, career issues and practical support for people navigating big life changes.
Kaitlyn has considerable experience supporting people with trauma and abuse and with substance-related concerns. She looks at the wider picture around someone, including social and financial pressures, rather than focusing on symptoms alone.
Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies and dialectical behaviour skills, mixed with attachment and client-centred ways of working. These are used to help people reduce avoidance, manage strong reactions and build better coping routines.
Taking the first step can feel daunting. Kaitlyn encourages a paced, collaborative process and helps people set goals that match their everyday responsibilities and priorities.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. It is often useful for anxiety, panic and stress because it focuses on living a meaningful life despite uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce avoidance and interrupt panic cycles. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help people who feel overwhelmed by panic or trauma reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then collaborate to try methods that fit. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around family, work and school, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you match so sessions can be scheduled to suit your routine and responsibilities.
