About Katharine
Katharine "Katy" Nicholson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in New York with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns and a wide range of other struggles, including anger, anxiety, parenting, grief, and addictions. Sessions focus on practical communication skills and problem solving rather than labels or quick fixes.
Katy often draws from family therapy ideas even when meeting with a single person. She looks for how needs get missed inside relationships and helps people find clearer ways to say what matters. That can mean rehearsing a difficult conversation, trying a new boundary, or practicing short skills to calm down when anger rises.
Her approach blends Attachment-Based work with client-centered listening and structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Emotion-focused techniques also appear when feelings are central to the issue. Katy favors approaches that lead to specific actions people can try between sessions.
Much of her background is in outpatient community mental health and family settings. That experience has meant thinking on her feet and using creative, practical solutions for complicated problems. She describes her role as helping people clarify what they want in relationships and then supporting steps to get there.
Katy offers sessions in English and works with adult clients on concerns listed earlier. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform's matching steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how patterns in relationships form and repeat. Online sessions can be used to look at those patterns, notice triggers, and practice different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers specific exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anger, anxiety, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation.Choosing a method happens together. Katy discusses the issue, goals, and what feels practical, then suggests approaches to try. That collaborative process means methods can shift as needs change, and she uses both listening and skills work depending on the situation.
The platform requires confirming current session options before booking, so check which formats are offered when you match. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, sessions without travel, and the chance to practice skills between work or parenting tasks. Talk with her during the matching steps about what schedule and session style would work best for your daily routine.
