About Katie
Katie Lamb is a New York LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of practice in the community. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self‑esteem, ADHD, and life changes. Katie speaks English and sees clients in New York.
Katie helps people talk through what feels stuck. She uses practical, talk‑based methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance‑based work. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and making small, doable changes that fit everyday life.
Her approach also draws on attachment‑based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Emotionally‑focused techniques are used to map and name difficult emotions so they feel less overwhelming. Katie aims for clear, straightforward conversations rather than jargon or long lectures.
She has worked with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and a range of relationship and communication problems. That background can shape how she and a client choose goals and steps for change.
Katie asks questions, listens, and offers exercises and experiments to try between sessions. The first meetings are often about setting simple goals and agreeing on practical steps. People who come for help with guilt or shame linked to relationships, choices, or life transitions may find this to be a direct, action‑oriented way to move forward.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with persistent guilt, avoidance, and problems that stop people from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, test them, and replace them with more effective alternatives, which is useful for anxiety, low self‑esteem, and day‑to‑day stress. Attachment‑based ideas look at patterns from early relationships and how those patterns show up in current relationships and emotions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss these methods with each person and make decisions together based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can change as new issues come up or as different techniques prove more helpful. Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by cutting out travel time, allowing shorter check‑in sessions when needed, or letting someone join from a quieter spot. Licensed professionals often use these options to help sessions fit into everyday schedules while focusing on practical skills and emotional understanding.Areas of expertise
