Katelyn Felter, LCSW

Katelyn Felter is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She offers a warm, interactive style and aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable. Katelyn focuses on creating a space where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings without judgment.

With five years of professional experience, she helps people work through trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and mood-related concerns like depression and panic. Her work also includes support for intimacy-related issues, relationship struggles, eating and body image concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and impulsivity. She helps clients navigate sexuality and LGBT-related issues as well.

Katelyn draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused methods to tailor care to each person. She keeps sessions interactive and practical, helping clients try specific skills between meetings. Progress is tracked through short-term goals and focused conversations.

Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then offers tools to change unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions, and reduce avoidance. For people dealing with social anxiety, panic attacks, or isolation, she works on gradual exposure and coping strategies. For grief and trauma, she blends stabilizing skills with careful processing at a pace the client chooses.

Sessions may include discussion, skill practice, breathing and grounding exercises, and brief behavioral experiments. Katelyn invites people who are feeling stuck to take a small step toward change and see what practical shifts are possible.

How Katelyn’s approaches work in online therapy

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms. It often includes short exercises, thought records, and small behavioral experiments that can be assigned between sessions to track progress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve mood. These practices are brief and can be used during stressful moments or practiced daily to build calm and focus.

Trauma-focused work combines stabilization skills with careful processing of past events at a pace the client controls. This approach helps people reduce trauma-related distress while building coping tools to manage intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katelyn will listen to your goals and collaborate to choose or blend methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you will set short-term goals and adjust methods as you learn what helps.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
