About Katelyn
Katelyn Peers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 15 years of experience. She focuses on common family and personal pressures like stress, anxiety, grief, relationship trouble, parenting challenges, and mood concerns including depression and bipolar disorder.
She spent much of her career supporting families facing complex trauma and the foster care system. That work included helping adults and children navigate the many practical and emotional tasks that come with foster care and adoption situations. She has also offered pastoral counseling and has experience doing counseling work in church settings.
Her clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people identify patterns in thinking and behavior, try small changes, and tell their stories differently so they feel less stuck.
Katelyn describes her style as interactive and personal. She attends to difficult feelings like guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue while helping with communication problems, forgiveness, and building self-love. She frames work around concrete problems such as career stress, eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
She also integrates faith for clients who want it and adapts the approach to each person needs. New people are guided through a brief matching process and a first session is scheduled after that.
BHow sessions work
Approaches and how online work can fit day-to-day life
People often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity, which can reduce shame and open new options. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on clear, practical goals and small steps toward them, making it useful when someone wants quick, concrete changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katelyn works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She will suggest approaches, invite feedback, and adjust the plan as work progresses so the methods stay relevant to the problem at hand.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel and letting people schedule around work or family demands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video for lower bandwidth situations. These practical benefits often help people maintain therapy alongside everyday responsibilities.
