About Scotty

Scotty Caudill is an experienced LCSW based in Kentucky who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. With 25 years in the field, he combines practical strategies with an emphasis on the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship.

Background and approach

He values mutual empathy and empowerment and pays close attention to how traumatic experiences affect both mental and physical wellbeing. His work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to address present concerns and build toward measurable goals.

CBT offers tools to identify and reshape unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, while Solution-Focused Therapy leverages client strengths and future-oriented planning. Scotty’s practice also attends to obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic and panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and forgiveness as part of comprehensive care.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances evidence-informed techniques with responsiveness to individual needs. He works through multiple online formats to increase accessibility and tailors his approach to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Approaches that translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress; it often uses structured exercises and homework to develop practical coping skills useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients' strengths and forward-moving goals, helping people clarify small, attainable steps toward the future they want while reinforcing what already works in their lives.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each client to explore which strategies match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve. This shared process helps ensure techniques feel relevant and achievable for the individual.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make engaging with these approaches more flexible. These formats support regular contact, allow work to continue from home or other convenient locations, and offer multiple ways to practice CBT exercises or set and track Solution-Focused goals with ongoing therapist guidance.
