About Katie

Katie Lamb is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with eight years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship and self-esteem struggles, and cope with life changes including challenges related to ADHD. Katie writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can use right away. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about what feels hard. Katie helps people notice patterns, try small shifts in thinking and behavior, and build routines that support day-to-day coping. Her background includes community-based work where she supported people facing depression, trauma, substance issues, and problems tied to family and caregiving. That experience shaped a flexible style - she adapts tools to fit someone’s life rather than pushing a single method. Katie draws from a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral methods, emotion-focused work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, and client-centered listening. She explains tools simply and practices them alongside each person so they feel useful. People who come to Katie often want clear strategies for anxiety, better communication in close relationships, steadier self-worth, or help managing changes after a big life event. She supports each person in setting realistic goals and tracking small wins toward a more manageable daily life.

How Katie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, emphasizes understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships to improve connection and communication. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Katie works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. She helps test ideas and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays useful and grounded in real concerns. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a workday break. They also let people try exercises or communication work where they live, which can make practice between sessions more realistic. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT tools effectively in remote settings when both therapist and client agree on a plan.
