Caitlin Clouse

Caitlin Clouse

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 2 mi away • East Northport, NY


My name is Caitlin Clouse. Licensed Clinical Social Worker is just one of the many titles I carry. First and foremost I am a mom, wife and daughter. Through my own lived experiences—including an estranged relationship with a parent during childhood, as well as experiencing secure attachment within a strong and supportive family system—I witnessed firsthand the impact that difficult and unhealthy relationships can have on an individual’s emotional regulation and overall well-being. I also experienced how supportive relationships and co-regulation within a family system can foster resilience, confidence, and motivation.

These experiences is what led to my decision to attend Adelphi's MSW program. I have always had a passion to work with adolescents to help them feel understood and validated.

I began my career providing in-home support to children and families experiencing crisis. Through this work, I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals and families through challenging circumstances and transitions. Through my practice in building positive relationships with adolescents, I have been able to assist them in organizing their thoughts and communicating them more effectively to their family and friends. I have been able to see first hand how treating them with dignity and respect allows them to grow their perspectives and become better listeners, which enhanced the family system as whole. No matter the current dynamics of one's family, we all come from one, which is why utilizing Structural Family Therapy and ACT has been helpful in my practice with not just families but individuals as well. Whether you're a parent, daughter, son, brother or sister, I'm here to help.

Welcome!

Mental well-being is a top priority because it is the key that opens the door to a happy, healthy, and stable life. Life can be full of unpredictable circumstances and events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, anxious, or depressed. Experiencing one, or all, of these starts to negatively impact critical areas such as sleep, work, self-motivation, personal relationships, or lead us to start engage in unhealthy outlets. It also makes us feel all alone and emotionally trapped. Reaching out for help can initially feel uneasy and it is a difficult task, but be proud of yourself that you are taking that first step! I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with clients aged 13 to 75 with a main focus on working for you, your needs, and how to achieve your goals to live a happy, healthy, and stable life. Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, Acute and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, relationships, couples/marital counseling, sexual issues, employees of law enforcement agencies, and forensic based testing.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.8 mi away • West Babylon, NY


I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.

I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.
