Caitlin Blair, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of Tiny Cottage Therapy, offering fully online, culturally attuned psychotherapy for clients across California. With a Masters in Social Welfare focused on adult health and well-being from the University of California, Berkeley with a Certificate in Aging, and a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations with a minor in Social Work from Pepperdine University, she brings both rigorous training and a holistic lens to her practice. Caitlin holds certifications in the Traumatic Conscious Yoga Method, Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Master-Class, Internal Family Systems in Action Master Class, and Walk-and-Talk Therapy. Her specialty lies in supporting thoughtful, high-achieving individuals—particularly those navigating cultural identity, family expectations, anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, and boundary-setting. As a multi-ethnic Chinese-American therapist, Caitlin brings personal insight into the complexities of culture and identity, and she creates a safe, compassionate space for clients feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Her therapeutic approach weaves together evidence-based practices, somatic and mindfulness tools, and a deep respect for how culture and system dynamics shape an individual’s experience. Caitlin emphasizes mind-body-spirit alignment and works collaboratively with clients to develop practical shifts, clarify values, and restore sustainable balance. Whether you’re a young professional, college student, or navigating a significant life transition, Caitlin is committed to helping you feel clearer, calmer, and more aligned with what truly matters.

You might look like you have it all together—but inside, you feel exhausted, anxious and torn between versions of yourself. You take care of everyone else, meet high expectations, and keep pushing forward, but lately it feels harder to stay present or connected. Maybe you’re tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling guilty for wanting something different. I’m Caitlin Blair, LCSW, and I help people who feel pulled in too many directions find balance, clarity, and relief. Many of my clients are navigating cultural or family expectations, perfectionism, burnout, or identity shifts. Together, we work on understanding where these patterns come from, learning to set boundaries that feel respectful and firm, and building a life that aligns with your real values. My approach combines practical strategies with warmth and curiosity. I use an approach that blends talk therapy with practical tools from mindfulness, somatic awareness, and systems-focused work. This means we’ll focus not just on your thoughts, but also on how your body and emotions respond to stress, boundaries, and change. Therapy with me is about helping you understand yourself more deeply so you can move through life with less pressure and more ease. It’s about helping you balance still caring for the people you love and learning to care more for yourself. If you’re ready to stop running on yourself ragged and start feeling more grounded in your choices and relationships, I’d love to connect.
