Caley Markuson , LPC, LCPC

Caley Markuson is a special education teacher, school counselor, and licensed therapist with six years of counseling experience. She holds master's degrees in Special Education from the University of Virginia and in School Counseling/Professional Counseling from Montana State University Northern, and she brings that combined educational and clinical background to work with individuals across a range of concerns.

Her practice is informed by a person-centered approach and a strong foundation in Applied Behavior Analysis and behavioral therapy. Caley has experience supporting people facing bipolar disorder, HPPD, trauma, depression, grief, and anxiety, and she uses talk therapy alongside structured workbook activities grounded in current, research-based theory. Her credentials include LPC and LCPC, which are state counseling licenses that authorize clinical practice.

Caley stays current through regular attendance at conferences and online trainings, and she draws on an array of up-to-date workbooks and practical tools in sessions. Outside of her professional life she is drawn to the outdoors and nature, where she enjoys riding her UTV with her two dogs and husband, wild crafting, and identifying plants. She looks forward to helping clients navigate the obstacles that life can present.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Caley Markuson draws from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals to foster growth and self-understanding; this approach is often helpful for people navigating life changes, self-esteem concerns, and grief. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns commonly associated with anxiety, depression, and stress. When appropriate, Trauma-Focused Therapy is employed to address the effects of past trauma with approaches tailored to processing difficult experiences and building coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Caley works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best match an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative orientation supports gradual adjustments to treatment as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These remote options can make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities.
