About Katie

Katie Lamb is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, ADHD, and the challenges that follow life changes. Katie describes helping people navigate those common pressures so they can make clearer decisions about what comes next.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on identifying which thoughts and behaviors get in the way, and on building small, usable changes. Katie uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and try new responses. She also draws on attachment-focused ideas when relationship patterns are part of the problem.

In a meeting with her, clients can expect a client-centered style that emphasizes listening and real-world strategies. Work may include clarifying values, practicing new communication habits, and setting short-term goals to test changes between sessions. Emotional patterns in relationships are addressed using elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when relevant.

Katie has experience supporting people with issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, communication problems, and commitment or control issues. She has also worked with people who have incarceration histories and those managing co-morbid conditions.

Sessions are conducted in English and Katie practices in New York. If someone is unsure which concerns to start with, she helps prioritize what feels most pressing and practical. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site's process to view therapy options and book an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and taking action in line with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, stress, and low mood.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Katie will discuss methods and try different techniques based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats approach selection as collaborative and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. These practical benefits help people test new habits between sessions and apply strategies directly to everyday situations.
