About Katie
LCSW in New York and Connecticut with 10 years' experience, Katie Parent helps adults manage stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and depression. She identifies issues like attachment, body image, eating-related concerns, panic, and post-traumatic stress among her focus areas. Katie practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques and centers practical mind-body skills alongside talk therapy.
Katie frames work in straightforward steps. She helps people name the problem, try concrete tools, and track what changes. Sessions often include breath and grounding practices paired with discussion about thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. That mix aims to make coping skills usable between visits.
Her trauma-informed stance means she pays attention to how past experiences affect current reactions. She pays attention to triggers, avoidance, and patterns that repeat in relationships. Katie supports people who struggle with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and obsessive behaviors by helping them notice those patterns and test new choices.
She also addresses life concerns tied to money, purpose, and self-esteem. Work can involve setting small goals, practicing emotional regulation, and changing unhelpful thinking. Sessions are practical and paced to the person’s readiness.
Katie works in Connecticut and holds LCSW credentials in New York and Connecticut. Sessions are conducted in English.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Katie commonly integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques with accessible mind-body practices. One approach focuses on skills training for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance and regain confidence. This helps people facing panic attacks, worry, and compulsive checking.Another strand emphasizes trauma-informed work that looks at how past events shape current reactions. That approach uses paced processing and stabilization techniques to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation for people with post-traumatic stress or histories of sexual assault and abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options and adjusts methods as someone gains skills and clarity.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or using a phone connection when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they try new coping strategies.
