Caitlin Winkler

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Ashland, KY


Hi, I’m Caitlin. I live in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of eastern Kentucky with my family.

I have enjoyed being an independently licensed clinical social worker for several years and am honored you are checking out my profile!

It is always so impressive to me when people have the courage to reach out for help. Life can be overwhelming, confusing, or heavier than it should and you’re not alone. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or identity-related challenges, and finding it hard to make sense of what you’re feeling or how to move forward. Many of the people I work with are used to pushing through and handling things on their own, but eventually feel emotionally drained, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, identity exploration, relationship stress, life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, and women’s issues. Together, we’ll create space to slow things down, better understand your experiences, and begin building a clearer, more grounded path forward that feels aligned with who you are and what you need.
