About Katherine
Katherine Sanchez Ciongoli is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 29 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family matters, self-esteem, depression, grief, and life transitions. Katherine speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
She focuses on practical conversations that help people name what they are feeling and why. In a session she listens for patterns in stressful thinking, avoidance, and repeated actions that keep problems stuck. She helps people sort through guilt and shame so those feelings feel clearer and more manageable, rather than overwhelming.
Katherine encourages clients to use the strengths they already have. She helps people set small, doable steps toward changes in behavior, communication, or daily routine. Sessions can include talking through relationships, practicing ways to respond differently, and reflecting on past choices without blame.
Her style is straightforward and steady. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to test what helps. Over many years she has worked with people facing grief, motivation struggles, social anxiety, and cultural or identity stresses.
Clients can expect a focus on clear goals and concrete tools to try between sessions. Katherine supports work on communication problems, loneliness, life purpose, and building self-love in practical ways.

How her approaches translate to online work
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting; this is useful for anxiety, guilt, and low mood. Another approach focuses on improving communication skills through role practice and concrete feedback, which helps with family conflict and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy proceeds. The emphasis is on trying methods and seeing what fits in everyday life rather than assuming a single path from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy around work and family easier by removing travel time and allowing sessions from wherever a person is calmer and has fewer distractions. It also lets people keep continuity of care if they are traveling or living outside the therapist's city.
