About Katie
Katie Lamb is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She offers calm, straightforward support for everyday struggles. Her approach is practical and warm, aimed at making steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Katie draws from therapies that focus on values, feelings, and clear problem solving. She listens first and helps people name what matters most.
Background and approach
From there she helps build skills for coping, communication, and handling hard emotions. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth. Katie uses tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and attachment-focused ideas to help people practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.
She also uses client-centered principles to keep the work focused on each person’s priorities. Her background includes nearly eight years of professional experience in community settings in New York. That history exposed her to a wide range of concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems.
Katie applies that experience to help people find concrete next steps. People meet her for help sorting out commitment worries, control issues, relationship strain, and stress from life transitions. She encourages small, consistent changes and helps track progress so people feel more steady over time.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, stress, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying simpler experiments to test them. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and building practical coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting and communicating when old patterns cause strain.Katie will work together with each person to find the best mix of these approaches. That means talking about goals, trying methods, and adjusting based on what fits. The process is collaborative and paced to the person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual connection for relationship work and emotional processing. Phone sessions can be a good option when less bandwidth is available or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or use shorter check-ins on a schedule that fits busy days.
