About Katie
Katie Lamb is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, life changes, and ADHD. Katie writes and talks plainly, so parents can get a quick sense of what to expect.
Katie approaches sessions with curiosity and steady support. She focuses on practical steps that fit day-to-day life. Conversations often include identifying small behaviors to try, noticing difficult thoughts, and practicing new ways of relating to emotions.
Background and approach
Her background includes nearly eight years of professional work in community settings. That experience exposed her to a wide range of challenges, including trauma, substance use issues, caregiving strains, and communication problems. She draws on that variety when helping people sort priorities and set realistic goals.
In session Katie aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts strategies accordingly. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises, skills training, or emotion-focused conversations depending on what the person needs.
Katie encourages small, sustainable changes rather than sweeping fixes. She works collaboratively to track progress and adjust the plan when something isn’t working. Many people find that steady practice and regular check-ins help reduce overwhelm and improve confidence over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings influence each other and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem work.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process may blend ACT and CBT techniques and adapt as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep face-to-face interaction when that helps build connection. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins and ongoing support more accessible between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
