About Katie

Katie Lamb is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings practical therapeutic skills alongside a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance to help clients explore what feels stuck and develop clearer ways to cope and move forward. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-oriented and attachment-focused work to address emotional patterns, communication challenges, and relationship dynamics.

Katie aims to create a collaborative space where clients can name difficult emotions, experiment with new strategies, and build confidence in daily living. She also has experience with issues related to adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and a range of attachment and personality concerns.

Clients can expect practical tools, mindfulness-informed methods, and support in setting achievable goals. Katie frames progress as a process and partners with each person to find interventions that fit their needs and circumstances.

Approaches that guide online work and recovery

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, problem-focused approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with clearer, more adaptive strategies; it often helps with anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while pursuing valued actions, which can be useful for coping with life changes and distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns that developed in early care relationships and helps people understand and shift how they connect, which can improve communication and closeness in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Katie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines techniques where helpful and invites clients to give feedback so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access regular support from New York licensed professionals, and practice new skills in day-to-day life without requiring travel.
