About Katie
Katie Parent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. Katie works with adults on issues such as panic, obsessive thoughts, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.
Katie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and integrates attention to how the body and mind interact. Sessions involve practical skills to manage symptoms and straightforward conversations about triggers and patterns. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when those show up in relationships or self-image.
Her approach includes addressing hard feelings like guilt, shame, and impulsivity. She also helps people struggling with body image, eating and food-related issues, money and financial stress, and questions about life purpose. Katie aims to break problems into manageable steps and to try specific tools in-session.
The LCSW credential means she is a licensed clinical social worker in New York and Connecticut. That license guides how she structures assessment and care for adults. People who want help with panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive patterns, or post-traumatic stress often start by describing a recent problem and a small goal.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Katie asks about immediate concerns, offers short-term strategies, and works toward longer-term coping plans. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches work in remote sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques typically include cognitive-behavioral strategies and trauma-informed mind-body work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral steps, useful for anxiety, panic attacks, and obsessive thoughts. Trauma-informed mind-body practices help people notice physical signs of stress and learn grounding or breathing techniques to reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is often a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and what feels doable, then try specific tools together. That process may involve short skill practice, reviewing what worked, and adjusting methods if needed.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing check-ins during a lunch break. Phone sessions can be used when a lighter, no-video check-in is helpful. Overall, online sessions aim to bring focused skill practice and reflective conversation into everyday routines.
