About Katharine
Katharine “Katy” Nicholson practices from a client-centered and attachment-informed perspective. She draws on approaches like Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people untangle relationship patterns and improve connection. Katy uses clear, practical steps so people leave sessions with ideas they can try right away.
She has ten years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, LMFT. Katy has spent much of her career in outpatient community mental health in New York. That background shaped a flexible style that blends structured techniques with empathic listening.
Katy often helps people who are coping with relationship strain, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with addiction, attention challenges, eating and sleep problems, and career stress. Money and financial issues appear among the concerns she addresses as part of broader life stressors.
In sessions she focuses on communication skills, problem solving, and building practical routines. She will work with individuals to identify what is not working and to try new ways of relating. The therapist aims to be warm and persistent, staying engaged until workable solutions are found.

How Katy translates therapy approaches to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns of closeness and distance and learn new ways to connect and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift emotional responses to strengthen relationships and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed in collaboration with the client.
Confirm session formats before booking, as specific online options are described during intake. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep consistent momentum between sessions. Some formats allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and others let people use video when visual connection is helpful. Discussing practical needs during the first session helps tailor how therapy is delivered to everyday life.
