Caitlin Carroll is a seasoned BCBA and LBA with over a decade of experience in behavioral healthcare, holding a Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis. She has served in key leadership roles, including Clinical Director and Founder, and is known for her expertise in individualized ABA programming, functional assessments, and staff development.

She’s a trusted mentor, podcast host, and thought leader in the ABA community, committed to ethical practice, diversity, and driving meaningful outcomes.
With 8 years of experience in the field, I’ve had the privilege of working with children ages 2-16 in a variety of environments, from schools and afterschool programs to community centers, daycares, clinics, and in-home settings. I began my career as a behavioral therapist and quickly developed a deep commitment to fostering growth and creating a meaningful difference in both children and their families. I believe in creating functional, lasting progress that extends beyond the session, empowering families to continue supporting their child’s development at home. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside and discovering new places to explore with my (almost) five-year-old son.
