About Katie

Katie Lamb is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Katie commonly supports people facing abandonment, attachment concerns, body image struggles, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and related issues.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations center on what is happening now and what people want to change. Katie uses clear techniques to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build small, manageable skills.

Her approach pulls from several evidence-informed methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that keep them stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps with values-based choices and living despite uncomfortable feelings. Attachment-Based work looks at how past relationships affect current reactions.

Katie also uses Client-Centered principles to focus on each person’s experience and Emotionally-Focused steps when relationship emotions are key. Sessions mix reflection, skill practice, and concrete steps to try between meetings. Progress is paced to what each person can take on.

She has local experience working with people affected by trauma, substance issues, incarceration history, and parenting strains. Katie aims to make the first steps simple: clear goals, a practical plan, and regular review of what’s working. People find this structure helpful when social situations, confidence, or life transitions feel overwhelming.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Many of Katie’s methods translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for social anxiety, low confidence, and day-to-day stress because it gives clear steps to try between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It can support choices during life changes and moments of avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can be helpful when relationship dynamics or fear of rejection are part of the problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist will check in regularly and adjust methods based on what is helpful.

The site lists session options and booking steps; confirm current session formats before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can recommend pacing and homework that fit a client's routine.
