About Katlyn

Katlyn Hill is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and issues around guilt and shame. Katlyn also supports people coping with ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, and challenges to self-esteem.

She uses practical methods in sessions and leans on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear skills and strategies people can try between meetings. Conversations are collaborative and oriented toward what the person wants to change.

Katlyn has worked across a range of problems including addictions, domestic violence, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses issues like body image, control struggles, fertility-related distress, and isolation. Her background includes helping people handle life transitions and crises that affect mood and daily functioning.

Her stated style blends cognitive-behavioral and motivational techniques with attention to emotional experience. Treatment plans are created with client input and adjusted as goals shift. She emphasizes straightforward interventions and coping skills to reduce overwhelming thoughts and improve day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Katlyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems like guilt where thoughts fuel distress.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for teaching skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills can help when strong emotions or relationship conflict keep recurring. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to map and name emotional patterns in relationships and close connections to help people understand why certain interactions trigger shame or withdrawal.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adjust the plan as progress or challenges emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Different approaches translate well to remote meetings: CBT and DBT lend themselves to worksheets and skills practice, while EFT can focus on how emotions show up in conversations during sessions.
