Katie Parent , LCSW

Katie Parent is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping women navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers a calm, accepting presence and aims to help people feel steadier and more in control of their daily life.

Katie draws on evidence-based techniques that link body awareness with emotional work. Sessions often include breathing and grounding tools alongside talk therapy. She emphasizes simple practices that people can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and manage symptoms.

Her approach centers on understanding how past hurts and attachment wounds shape current reactions. Katie helps people recognize patterns around abandonment, control, and self-worth so they can make different choices in relationships and daily life. She also addresses concerns related to body image, eating and food-related issues, and guilt or shame.

Katie has ten years of clinical experience and holds LCSW credentials in New York and Connecticut. Her background includes working with people who have experienced sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. She speaks English and practices from Connecticut.

Therapy with Katie is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. New clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and preferences.

How Katie Uses Therapeutic Techniques Online

Katie uses evidence-based mind-body techniques that pair breathing and grounding exercises with talk-based work. These methods help people reduce sudden anxiety, come back from panic symptoms, and feel more connected to their bodies during stressful moments.

She also focuses on trauma-informed approaches that help people process past hurts at a manageable pace. This work often includes learning how attachment patterns affect current relationships and practicing small skills to respond differently when old wounds are triggered.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Katie talks with each person about their goals, symptoms, and daily routines, then adapts techniques to fit what feels most useful. She checks in regularly to make sure the plan is helping and changes direction when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, homework review, or when someone prefers not to use audio or video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family care, or busy days.
