About Katie

Katie Lamb is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She has about eight years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, life transitions, and ADHD. Katie aims to make the first step toward change feel less daunting by offering steady, clear support.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations are meant to be honest and nonjudgmental. Katie encourages people to talk about what matters most and to try small, manageable steps between appointments.

Katie draws on several practical therapy approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck on them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change patterns that keep someone feeling stuck. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and emotional bonds.

Her style is client-centered, which means the person in front of her sets the pace and goals. Sessions often include noticing feelings, trying new behaviors, and checking what helps in daily life. Katie also uses emotion-focused tools when relationship or attachment pain is central.

People come to Katie for many concerns beyond the common ones listed. These include adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or disability, body image, communication problems, and difficulties tied to aging or past incarceration. She focuses on practical steps that can fit into busy lives.

Step 3

How Katie's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice hard thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing daily challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying concrete alternatives to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds to address recurring relationship pain and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Confirm current session options before booking, because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to continue steady support during life changes. Licensed professionals can help choose the pacing and tools that suit everyday routines.
