About Katie

Katie Lamb is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. She also works with concerns people commonly link to codependency such as difficulty setting boundaries and prioritizing others.

Katie keeps sessions straightforward. She listens first and asks practical questions to clarify what matters to the client. Together they set clear goals and try small, doable steps between meetings. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and what gets in the way.

Her work draws on several approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without being ruled by them. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current reactions.

Katie aims to make therapy a place for honest, sometimes tough conversations. She helps people practice new ways of saying no, asking for needs, and handling conflict. She pays attention to how past relationships shape present choices.

Sessions are practical and task-focused when that fits, and more reflective when that is needed. People who have lived through adoption, caregiving stress, chronic health struggles, or disruptive family patterns may find relevant experience here. Katie works in English and sees clients based in New York.

How sessions work

How Katie Uses Specific Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and try small actions that line up with their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and choices that keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress or low mood, and then practicing different responses to those patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions in close relationships and can guide work on trust and boundaries.

Katie treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to keep using and which to change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and making shorter check-ins possible. It can also allow people to attend when their schedule or location otherwise makes in-person meetings difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and conversation for the online setting so people can keep progressing between sessions.
