About Katelyn
Katelyn Peers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience based in New York. She guides people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Her work also includes support for parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and coping with major life changes.
Before moving into independent practice, she spent much of her career helping families navigate complex trauma and mental health issues. That hands-on work included supporting children and caregivers involved in foster care.
Background and approach
Her background also includes pastoral counseling and time working with individuals and couples in church settings. Her style is warm, interactive, and personal. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical tools, and understanding the stories people tell about their lives.
She aims to treat people with dignity and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels. Katelyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy depending on what each person needs. She tailors techniques to fit individual goals rather than following a single formula.
Faith and spirituality may be included when clients want that as part of care. People who look for straightforward strategies and gentle support often find her approach helpful. She emphasizes collaboration, listening first, and building skills that can be used between sessions.
Katelyn works with adults on a range of concerns including anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating issues, compassion fatigue, and career stress.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Katelyn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress when people want specific tools to try between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and processing traumatic memories and reactions. It helps people reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life and rebuild a sense of safety and control.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals, review what has helped in the past, and try methods that match your needs. That collaboration helps adjust the plan over time so sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can make brief check-ins or homework support easier to fit into a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and accessible for different schedules and situations.
