About Katie

Katie Lamb is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of practice in New York. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Katie aims to make sessions feel calm and welcoming. She encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Her approach centers on listening first, then helping people set realistic, short-term goals they can try out in daily life.

She draws on several therapy styles to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult feelings while choosing values-based actions. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work around relationship patterns and connection concerns.

Katie has worked in her local community on a range of issues including depression, trauma, addiction, parenting concerns, and family conflict. That background informs how she tailors sessions for people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, or major life transitions. She invites questions and partners with each person to find what helps.

Her practice emphasizes small, concrete changes and steady progress. People leave sessions with practical tools, simple experiments to try, and a plan for the next step. The focus is on usable strategies, not jargon, so people feel they can move forward between appointments.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work can look like

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that lead to unhelpful behavior and trying different responses to change outcomes. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating when relationships feel strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. She listens to what matters most, suggests short exercises, and adjusts the plan as progress is seen.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also helps people keep therapy consistent through life changes like relocation or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals can offer the same practical tools and exercises as in-person care, and Katie focuses on helping people use those tools between sessions to create steady, usable change.
