About Katie

Katie Lamb is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. Katie offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and encourages honest conversation about thoughts and feelings.

She creates space for people to talk through what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. The aim is to help clients notice patterns, try new habits, and find what works day to day.

With eight years of experience, Katie draws on a few different approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action. Attachment-based ideas and emotion-focused tools help with relationship struggles and building trust.

Katie’s style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps set small goals you can try between sessions. Progress is paced to what feels manageable so changes stick.

People who want help with communication problems, commitment worries, caregiving stress, body image, chronic health challenges, or the long effects of adoption and foster care may find this approach useful. Katie supports exploration of difficult topics like abandonment, incarceration history, and co-morbidity with care and respect.

How Katie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take steps that match those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and trying small actions aligned with priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers simple tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques help when relationship patterns cause pain, by identifying emotions and opening new ways to connect.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will listen to your goals and try a few methods to see what fits. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts strategies based on what actually helps you day to day.
