Katie Lamb

Katie Lamb is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, life changes, and challenges related to ADHD. She offers calm, straightforward support for everyday struggles and more complex life transitions. Katie aims to make the first step into therapy feel doable and less overwhelming.

She draws on eight years of practice in community settings where she supported people with mood concerns, trauma histories, substance issues, and trouble with motivation and confidence. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical next steps rather than jargon. Katie listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and helps people try different ways of responding.

Her approach mixes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy with a client-centered, attachment-aware stance. That means she helps people notice painful thoughts, clarify values, and practice small changes that fit their life. Emotionally-focused ideas also shape work on close relationships and communication.

Katie pays attention to family and caregiving stresses, adoption and foster-care matters, aging and long-term illness, and identity issues like body image or autism-related concerns. She supports people coping with chronic pain, control struggles, codependency, and other intertwined worries.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Katie helps them set a simple first goal and build from there. Her style is direct, kind, and practical, with room for difficult feelings and everyday realities.

How Katie’s approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when hard thoughts or feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, life changes, and motivation struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It often helps with stress, low mood, and practical problem-solving in daily routines.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection patterns and communication. This can be useful when relationship issues or caregiving stress are central concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try techniques that fit their life. That collaborative process includes checking what helps and adjusting course as needed.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins if needed. Some people prefer sessions that are easier to schedule around work or caregiving, while others like being able to stay in a familiar setting during a longer session. Licensed professionals can adapt methods like ACT and CBT to work well in those circumstances.
