Kaitlin Magalnick, LCSW — Therapist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Kaitlin!

I currently work with young adults, and I specialize in anxiety, stress, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients make progress and work towards becoming the best version of themselves.

My focus

I currently work with young adults, and I have found that this population is most rewarding for me as they are transitioning into different avenues of life, and with that comes stress, anxiety, and depression. I enjoy helping individuals navigate through difficult times in their lives.

My approach

I would say my approach varies per client, as all clients have different needs in therapy. However, I tend to use a direct approach, which allows my clients to reflect on issues they are facing head-on. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we will explore your thinking and approach to problems.

My communication style

My overall communication style is direct but laid back in the sense that I am open to all feedback and will provide you with the same. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

When I was in college, it took me a long time to determine what I wanted to do! I always knew I wanted to help people, but I was unsure of what avenue or way I was going to do that. I took my first social work class when I was about 18-19 years old, and something just 'clicked'; I knew I was supposed to be there.

My goals for you

Therapy is about YOU! We will determine goals based off what you want to improve on in your life.

Our first session

The purpose of our first session is to build a connection. It is important for you to feel comfortable and want to come back for a second session. In doing so, I will spend time asking you questions about how you have been feeling lately, what you would like to get out of therapy, and general questions to get to know you better.
