Katie Parent

Katie Parent is a licensed clinical social worker in New York and Connecticut with ten years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Katie also focuses on concerns such as body image, control issues, eating and food-related problems, obsessional patterns, panic, and questions about life purpose.

Katie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and integrates mind-body approaches into her sessions. She encourages practical strategies that address thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Conversations may include skills for managing panic and anxiety, ways to understand attachment and abandonment patterns, and practical steps for improving self-regard and body image.

Sessions center on clear goals and small next steps. Katie helps people notice patterns that get in the way, try new responses, and review what works. She talks through real-life situations and helps people test changes between meetings.

Her background includes clinical work across community and clinical settings over a decade. That experience informs how she adapts approaches for different concerns while keeping sessions focused on immediate problems and longer-term patterns.

Katie offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the online options button.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Katie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and integrates mind-body practices in her work. Evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and obsessive patterns. Mind-body practices involve grounding and body-awareness strategies that assist people dealing with trauma, body image concerns, or strong physical reactions to stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katie collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will review what feels useful, adapt strategies if needed, and check progress as part of ongoing planning.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that avoid video if that helps you stay present. Ask about session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your schedule and goals.
