About Katie
LMHC in Massachusetts with 13 years of experience, Katie Murphy focuses on grief and loss and on coping with life changes. She works with people who are grieving the death of a pet and those facing stress and anxiety related to major transitions. Katie speaks English and offers remote sessions from Massachusetts.
Katie says the bond between people and their pets can bring great joy and also deep sorrow. She draws on both personal experience and professional practice to guide conversations about that loss. In sessions she listens to the story of the relationship and helps people name and process the emotions that come with it.
Her work includes supporting people who feel empty or isolated after a loss. She helps people notice how grief shows up in daily life and practices simple steps to manage anxiety and stress. Katie also helps people reflect on life purpose and self-love as part of moving forward.
Across sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure conversations and homework when those fit the person's goals. She frames therapy as collaborative and goal-oriented, adjusting pace and focus to what someone needs in the moment.
Practical matters such as scheduling and cost are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, people use the site button to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first remote session.

Approaches used and what remote sessions involve
Many of Katie's sessions draw on straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present symptoms and practical steps. One common approach she uses is structured grief-focused work, which helps people tell the story of their relationship, recognize grief reactions, and plan small coping strategies for difficult moments. Another approach is short-term anxiety management, which teaches breathing, grounding, and behavioral adjustments to reduce stress and increase day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or as new concerns come up, and she adjusts sessions to match the current focus.
The biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins around work or caregiving. They also allow sessions when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Ask about the exact session format available when you schedule.
