About Katie
Katie Lamb is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship worry, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD.

She uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters to each person. Sessions focus on practical skills and small changes that fit into daily life.
Background and approach
Katie listens without judgment and helps people name their thoughts and feelings. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with an emphasis on emotions and attachment. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based tools to build value-driven action.
Emotion-focused work supports people who want clearer connection and stronger emotional understanding. Katie has worked with people facing abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity questions among other challenges. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current relationships and behavior.
In sessions she keeps language plain and concrete. Homework is practical and short so it can be tried between meetings. The goal is better coping, clearer decisions, and steadier emotional ground.
People who choose Katie can expect a calm, accepting presence and a focus on tools that actually fit their life. She frames therapy as a collaborative effort toward clearer goals and more manageable days.
How Katie’s Approaches Work Online
Katie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and still take steps toward what matters, which can help with anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on finding and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different strategies. Sessions are collaborative, and adjustments are made over time to fit what actually helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, try brief problem-solving, or check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to use tools in the moment they are needed.
