About Katelynn

LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) with eight years' experience, Katelynn Lyon helps people in Michigan with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes. She works with individuals who are navigating attachment and communication problems, gender dysphoria, trichotillomania, and women's issues. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical strategies rather than jargon. Katelynn conducts therapy in English and accepts international clients.

Katelynn frames difficulties as connected parts of a person’s experience - thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and actions all influence one another. She describes her approach as evidence-based and trauma-informed, and she adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs. She values a direct, open therapeutic relationship where people can speak honestly and be heard.

In sessions she uses dialogue and occasionally light humor to keep conversations grounded. She helps clients notice how past experiences shape present reactions and then tries simple changes to shift patterns. That can mean practicing different ways to respond, learning new communication skills, or breaking down overwhelming problems into manageable steps.

Katelynn trained at The Ohio State University, where she completed both bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Outside work she spends time with her puppy Ruby, tries local restaurants, and watches sports or TV marathons.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Katelynn’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; cost varies with location.

How evidence-based methods translate to remote sessions

She describes her work as evidence-based and trauma-informed, which means she pays attention to how past events affect present reactions and uses practical techniques to change patterns. A trauma-informed approach focuses on understanding stress responses and reducing reactivity by pacing conversations and using grounding strategies. Another common element is cognitive and behavioral-oriented work, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and actions interact. This kind of work involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral changes to shift how someone feels and responds. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katelynn will discuss different techniques with each person and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to work with clients on concrete goals and to check in about what is or isn't helpful as therapy progresses. Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or skip being on camera when that helps them focus, depending on the session format offered.
