Calee Litteken, BACP

Calee Litteken is a mental health counsellor and counselling supervisor based in the Warwickshire area of the United Kingdom who originally hails from Texas in the United States. She brings an open, warm and honest presence to sessions and aims to create a therapeutic space that meets each person's needs - whether that means making room to cry, to laugh, to vent, or simply to sit with difficult feelings. Her work is integrative with a strong person-centred emphasis, drawing on client-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural and existential ideas to support clients in exploring their perspectives and finding their own answers.

Calee completed her counselling training at the University of North Texas in 2017 with additional emphasis on cognitive behavioural approaches, work with adolescents and young adults, and expressive arts therapy. She has undertaken LGBT affirmative training at Southern Methodist University and a conversion psychology course at Coventry University after moving to the UK in 2018. In 2022 she gained a postgraduate certificate in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling from Nottingham University. She began supervising in 2024 and is scheduled to undertake Person-Centred Experiential Counselling Supervisor Training in February 2025. She holds membership with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Across private practice and work within the NHS, Calee supports people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, trauma and abuse, relationship and sexuality matters, gender dysphoria, self-esteem, coping with life changes, chronic pain and illness, and career or workplace issues. Her practice also includes focused work around BDSM, kink and alternative sexual cultures, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and compassion fatigue. She has experience with crisis and suicide response teams, hospital liaison work, and spent two years providing voluntary counselling with a hospice service. Calee is available for international clients and currently offers primarily morning appointments, with limited flexibility by request; those seeking regular evenings or weekends may wish to consider other options at this time.

Online Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Calee integrates client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy, and existential ideas to tailor support in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental space where the client’s own experience guides the work - it helps with issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and figuring out life direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress. Existential therapy explores meaning, choice, and personal responsibility, supporting people who are wrestling with life purpose, transitions, or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Calee works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques across sessions so the work feels appropriate and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Calee is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, time zones, and mobility. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to be scheduled in ways that suit a client’s daily life and circumstances.
