Cari-Lynn Oakley-Skipper, LCSW
About me
Hello!! My name is Cari-Lynn and I have been working with children and their families within the school setting since 2000. Seeking an avenue to work more closely with individuals to effect positive change I obtained my Clinical Social Work license in 2008 and began my private practice. Since that time I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
