Katelyn Felter

Katelyn Felter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with five years of experience. She focuses on creating a warm, interactive space where people can talk about hard feelings without feeling judged. Katelyn works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and eating and body-image struggles.

Katelyn uses a flexible, person-centered style in sessions. She listens first and adapts tools to fit each person's needs. That can mean practical behavioral steps, mindfulness skills to calm the body, or short-term goal-focused techniques to manage day-to-day problems.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes to feel less stuck. Mindfulness is used to bring attention to present experience and reduce reactivity.

Katelyn also offers solution-focused strategies when someone wants to move toward specific goals quickly. Those techniques break big problems into manageable steps and track progress. She blends this with trauma-informed care for people coping with past or recent harm.

She aims to match method to need rather than follow one script. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space for emotions and planning. If you are nervous about beginning therapy, she acknowledges that first step and helps people move forward at their own pace.

How Katelyn’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead, validates feelings, and helps people clarify what they most want to change or keep. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is about noticing thoughts and behaviors and practicing small experiments to shift them. It is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and many day-to-day problems and often includes specific exercises you can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katelyn will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together the client and therapist decide whether to use CBT tools, mindfulness exercises, or trauma-focused steps, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using written exercises, audio-guided mindfulness, and homework between meetings so progress continues outside session time.
