ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Caitlin Searl. I am originally from Philadelphia, PA, and have lived in Sanford, NC, since 2022. I received my master’s degree in social work (MSW) from the University of Oklahoma and have an LCSWA license from the State of North Carolina.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminology from the University of Tampa and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Maryland Global Campus. I enjoy exploring Raleigh and surrounding areas with my husband during my free time. Visiting new restaurants and cafes, as well as hiking, are things I love to do.
EXPERTISE
Before starting my career in clinical social work, I served in the United States Air Force in Spain and Germany. I have experience with military community outreach and awareness, in which I helped support and assist veterans struggling with loneliness, isolation, employment, and mental health.
Now, I see clients that range in age from 10 to 75. I have worked with children, teens, adults, veterans, and LGBTQ+ population in a broad range of areas, including academic or work problems, self-esteem, stress management, ADD/ADHD, life transitions, trauma, depression, anxiety, couples & marital problems.
COUNSELING APPROACHES
In my counseling approach, I put an emphasis on creating a warm, welcoming environment that allows us to build a trusting relationship. I encourage a collaborative therapeutic method to support overcoming challenges, changes, or discomfort within your life journey. To suit your individual needs, I will utilize a variety of therapy approaches and modalities, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), motivational interviewing, solution-focused and strengths-based practices, mindfulness practices, and trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). The first steps of stepping out of our comfort zones lead us to achieve wellness and stability.

We live in a world that’s greatly divided and conflicted, much to the detriment of our minds and souls. This unhealthy dynamic has often manifested in the disintegration of familial relationships and the unraveling of once-held-dear friendships.
