About Mary
Mary Catherine "Katie" Miller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She lists anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, and LGBT-related matters among the concerns she addresses. Katie communicates plainly and aims to help people take practical steps when social situations and everyday stressors feel overwhelming.
Katie uses clear, person-focused methods rather than jargon. She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and then helps people try small, manageable changes. Sessions often involve talking through recent situations, testing different ways of responding, and noticing what helps reduce tension or worry. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness often appear in sessions when the goal is to change unhelpful thinking or reduce anxious reactions. Narrative and client-centered approaches are used to clarify values, identity, and how past experiences influence current choices. People who prefer direct conversation and step-by-step practices may find this style helpful. Katie accepts clients from outside the U.S. as well, and sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options when they schedule.
How Katie uses practical approaches in online sessions
Katie often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy during sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the client, helping clarify values and personal goals.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice bodily reactions and calm attention in stressful moments. Mindfulness can be useful for reducing the intensity of anxious responses and building tolerance for uncomfortable feelings.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Katie will talk through what feels most useful, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps the client meet their goals. Clients are invited to give feedback about what works and what does not.
