About Mary
Mary Catherine "Katie" Miller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, ADHD, and codependency.
Katie keeps her sessions straightforward and person-focused. She listens to what people bring and helps them sort out thoughts and feelings. She does not use clinical jargon; conversations are plain and direct so clients can make sense of what matters to them.
Her background includes counseling, teaching, coaching, and training across community settings in Western New York. Over two decades she has supported people coping with life transitions, long-term mental health challenges, and difficult losses. That experience shapes how she notices patterns and practical steps to relieve immediate strain.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, practice present-moment skills, and reframe personal stories to reduce shame and self-blame.
People often come when they keep putting others first, struggle to set boundaries, feel stuck after a loss, or are managing ongoing stress. Katie helps people name what is happening, develop clearer choices, and practice new ways of responding. The focus is on usable tools and clearer thinking rather than labels or guarantees.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting what the client says so they feel heard and can find their own solutions. This approach suits people working through relationship patterns, people-pleasing, or long-standing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and practical changes like boundary-setting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie collaborates with each person to choose what to try based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts over time rather than imposing a single method.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or remove travel time. It also supports using mindfulness exercises, thought records, and narrative writing between meetings so tools can be practiced in daily life.
