About Katie
Katie Lamb is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and ADHD. She frames therapy as a practical, supportive collaboration and focuses on immediate concerns that make daily life harder. Her style is straightforward and warm.
She invites people to talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions aim to build small, useful skills that fit into a busy life.
How Katie works
Katie emphasizes clear goals and steady progress rather than long lectures. Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking.
Attachment-based techniques help explore how early relationships shape current patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about feelings in close relationships. Katie also brings a client-centered attitude to sessions.
That means she listens closely and adapts plans to each person’s needs. Therapy combines practical exercises, guided reflection, and everyday coping strategies that people can try between meetings. With eight years of experience in community settings, Katie is familiar with complex life issues like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.
Her goal is to help people find clearer choices and more manageable steps forward. Taking the first step can feel hard; Katie aims to make that step easier to take.

Online support options
How Katie’s approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, worry, and managing life transitions by focusing on meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going. It is practical for daily coping and problem solving. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and expressing emotions in relationships to improve connection and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie works with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She adjusts tools over time and checks in regularly so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for working together. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when discussing emotions and relationship patterns. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support short check-ins, homework follow-ups, or moments when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on concrete skills and steady progress.
