Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Austin, TX & Online Across Texas
Hello, I’m Caleigh.
A passionate, curious, and deeply human therapist who seeks to create an environment that invites authenticity and connection.
My Style
My goal as a therapist isn't to give you answers — it's to help you find your own.
I show up as a real person in the room: warm, direct, and definitely with humor when appropriate. This isn't a space where you'll feel analyzed or evaluated. It's a space where you can slow down, say the hard things out loud, and figure out what's actually going on underneath.
My work is relational at its core, meaning the relationship we build together is part of what makes the work effective. I draw on attachment theory, experiential approaches, and a genuine curiosity about what makes you who you are. I follow your lead — and I'll also gently push back when it seems useful.
Whatever brings you in — anxiety, perfectionism, a life transition, old wounds that keep showing up — the work will be tailored to you. Not a formula. The approach is flexible, but the intention is always the same — to consistently meet you where you're at.
More About Me
I came to therapy as a client first — reluctant, guarded, and honestly pretty resistant to the whole thing. I didn’t believe it would help. What I couldn’t see at the time was that something was happening anyway.
I’ve always been someone who cared deeply about others — the friend who wanted people to feel seen and understood. But I wasn’t very good at offering that same space to myself. So while I sat in therapy convinced it wasn’t working, I was really just pushing against something unfamiliar.
Over time, that space became somewhere I could bring all of myself — even the messy, complicated parts — and still be met with understanding. For someone who had spent a long time feeling like her feelings weren’t welcome, that shifted something. It made me realize that the parts I had been hiding might actually be the ones most worth getting to know.
That experience, combined with my natural pull toward connection, is what led me here. And it’s what continues to shape how I work now — not to fix you, but to help you understand yourself more deeply, at your own pace, and in a way that actually lasts.
I’m a therapist who goes to therapy. I believe in growth without the pressure of perfection, and I bring that into every session — whether we’re talking through patterns, building insight, or doing deeper work like EMDR.
Outside of the therapy room, I really value slowing down and enjoying the lighter parts of life. You can usually find me trying a new restaurant somewhere in Austin, heading to a pilates class, or working on perfecting my bolognese (I’m very close).
I also love some reality TV, getting lost in a romantasy book, and spending quality time with the people who make me feel most like myself.
