About Katelyn
Katelyn Peers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship problems, and struggles around guilt and shame. Her background includes long-term work with complex family trauma and mental health challenges, and she brings that practical experience into sessions.
Peers has spent significant time supporting people connected to foster care and adoption, and she has provided pastoral counseling in church settings. That mix of community and clinical experience shapes how she talks with clients about faith, family expectations, and the practical effects of trauma. She also helps people who are coping with life changes, career pressures, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and parenting strains.
Her approach is interactive and person-focused. Peers often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy tools to look at thoughts, stories, and behavior patterns that keep people stuck. She also draws on Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods when they fit the situation.
In a session she aims to work collaboratively, asking questions and trying small experiments to test what helps. Conversations may include looking at unhelpful thinking, telling or retelling a personal story in a new way, and setting small, doable goals between meetings.
If faith is important to a client, she integrates spiritual beliefs into therapy when asked. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking so they know what options are offered.
How therapy approaches guide online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts and targets practical changes, which can work well for anxiety, depression, and guilt-related thinking.Narrative Therapy is another approach she uses to look at the stories people tell about themselves. That method focuses on separating a person from a problem and then rewriting the story in ways that reduce blame and shame.
She also applies Solution-Focused techniques to set short-term goals and identify small steps that produce noticeable change. Those methods help when someone wants concrete coping tools or quicker momentum.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to prioritize and when to shift focus.
Confirm the specific session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit into daily life more smoothly, like fitting a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Ask about the available options when you start the matching process so you can plan sessions that suit your routine.
