About Katherine
Katherine O'Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Katherine aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and less overwhelming.
She uses straightforward conversation and tailored strategies to help people cope with life changes and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on building skills for calming panic, improving mood, and reducing social anxiety.
How Katherine works
She also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, control struggles, and trouble communicating with others. Katherine has worked across clinical settings supporting individuals and groups, including experience with teens and young adults. That background informs a flexible approach that adapts to where a person is in life and what they need right now.
She emphasizes practical steps alongside understanding feelings. Typical sessions combine listening, problem-solving, and small goal-setting so progress feels concrete. Katherine works with people to strengthen self-love, clarify life purpose, and repair strained relationships through clearer communication.
She keeps the work focused and paced to each person's comfort level. People who come for help often want tools for panic attacks, smoother day-to-day coping, or relief from the pressure of caregiving. Katherine offers steady support and a plan you can try between sessions to test what helps most.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Many people find focused, evidence-based techniques helpful for anxiety and mood concerns. Cognitive-style approaches help identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking to reduce worry and social anxiety. Skills-based coping work teaches short-term tools for grounding during panic attacks and for managing low mood or compassion fatigue.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, then try strategies that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and seeing visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send short updates, ask questions between sessions, or have a brief check-in without a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other commitments while using approaches that address stress, panic, and mood.
