About Katlyn
Katlyn Hill is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan. She uses a warm, interactive style and focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Her approach aims to help people feel more in control and move toward the changes they want.
Over six years she has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and mood disorders. She has supported those coping with trauma and abuse, relationship stress, addiction, and eating or body image concerns. She also helps people managing life changes, isolation, panic symptoms, and issues tied to guilt, shame, or forgiveness.
Katlyn mixes evidence-informed methods to match each person. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to support motivation and readiness for change. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach coping strategies and manage intense emotions.
Her sessions tend to be collaborative and strengths-based. She asks questions, listens closely, and works with each person to set realistic, concrete steps. Progress is tracked through regular check-ins so plans can be adjusted as needed.
People who want practical tools and steady support may find her style helpful. She encourages people to use their own strengths while learning new ways to handle stress, relationships, and mood symptoms.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and strengthen their own reasons for taking steps. Online sessions can use reflective questions and goal-setting to build momentum for change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. In remote sessions this often becomes homework-based work and brief skill practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be taught in session and practiced during the week with therapist guidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then shape a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide which combination of methods to use and how to pace progress.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins when needed, and support consistent practice of skills between meetings. -
