Hi, I’m Chrissy and I’m a licensed professional counselor. If you’re struggling with OCD or anxiety, you’ve likely spent a lot of time trapped in the 'why'—trying to figure out why these thoughts are happening or why you feel this way. In our work together, we’re going to pivot. We’re going to focus on the how.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who works with individuals ages 13 and older. With a warm and collaborative approach, Kaity specializes in helping clients navigate and manage stress, anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions. Her goal is to help you feel less "stuck," clarify your goals, and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.
You deserve to feel heard, supported, and understood—and if you’re here, you’ve already taken a meaningful step toward change.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from the University of Connecticut, specializing in mental health and substance use. I’ve worked with teens, adults, and families across a range of settings, including outpatient clinics, schools, home-based care, and virtual therapy.
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, identity exploration, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift, or exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own.
My approach is collaborative, direct when helpful, and grounded in compassion. I use evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care, but I tailor therapy to what actually fits your life—not just a model. We focus on what’s showing up for you right now, while also working toward longer-term stability and change.
Therapy with me is not about judgment or perfection. It’s a space to slow things down, understand what’s driving stress or emotional pain, and build practical tools that help you feel more steady and in control of your day-to-day life.
I received my master’s degree from Columbia University in the City of New York and am an independently licensed Clinical Social Worker in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, with over 25 years of clinical experience. I would describe myself as energetic, empathic, and positive, with a good sense of humor. I believe in a client-centered approach and am committed to meeting my clients where they are in their lives. I am fluent in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Taiwanese.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Rhode Island
Searching for therapists in Rhode Island starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across the state, available care can vary between urban and more rural areas, and Rhode Island therapists may focus on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience align with your needs, whether that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or another therapy style.
Location and format can also shape your search. You may want in-person therapy in Rhode Island near Providence, Warwick, or Newport, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit your schedule from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
The cost of therapy in Rhode Island can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm what coverage is available in Rhode Island before you book.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
