    About Katelyn

    Katelyn Elliott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and identity concerns. She takes a calm, collaborative approach that centers the person’s experience and goals. Katelyn aims to create an understanding space where people can talk through painful events and make practical changes.

    She holds a master’s degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and brings 13 years of clinical experience. Much of her work has involved substance use and co-occurring disorders alongside mood and anxiety concerns. She also supports people navigating grief, relationship difficulty, parenting strain, and questions of life purpose.

    Katelyn describes her base approach as humanistic with roots in Existential Therapy. She treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on meaning, choice, and personal values when exploring challenges. Sessions tend to be collaborative and aimed at helping people connect actions to what matters most to them.

    To address symptoms and everyday problems she integrates practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and uses Motivational Interviewing to help build motivation for change. Mindfulness skills are also woven in to help manage stress and emotional upheaval. The result is a mix of reflection and hands-on strategies.

    Her style is steady and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on helping people notice patterns and try small experiments. Katelyn encourages gentle curiosity about difficult memories and choices so clients can make clearer decisions about next steps.

  2. How Motivational Interviewing and CBT Fit into Online Care

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and gently guiding toward the goals a person already values. This can be useful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and building momentum for new behaviors.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills such as challenging unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katelyn collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She mixes reflective exploration with concrete skills so the plan fits the individual rather than a fixed protocol.

    Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which online options are available before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-in visits when needed, and remove travel time from a schedule. They also let people bring real-life situations into session for immediate problem-solving. Ask about current session options when you schedule to make sure they match your needs.
