About Katlyn
Katlyn Maurer is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania who uses Motivational Interviewing alongside several evidence-informed approaches. She welcomes people who are feeling stuck and want practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, anger, or life transitions. Katlyn focuses on adults aged 18 to 40 and aims to make therapy a straightforward, helpful part of everyday life.
Katlyn earned a master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019. Over six years she has worked in residential treatment programs, outpatient mental health clinics, and state facilities. Those roles gave her hands-on experience with a wide range of concerns, from mood and personality challenges to issues like self-harm and workplace stress.
In sessions she blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix helps people build skills, notice patterns, and set goals that fit their values. She keeps explanations plain and offers concrete tools to practice between meetings.
Katlyn pays particular attention to problems that often come with young adulthood, including relationships, career uncertainty, and questions about life purpose. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, and the effects of sexual assault and abuse. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she works at a pace chosen by the person in therapy.
If you want to try short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper issues, Katlyn structures sessions around your goals. People who come to her can expect collaborative planning, skill-building, and steady support as they make changes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change and increasing motivation in small, practical steps. It can be useful when someone feels stuck about a behavior or decision and needs help clarifying what matters to them.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then take action that lines up with personal values. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and uncertainty about life direction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact and introduces exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and building coping strategies for daily stressors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katlyn will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan so it fits your needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps find what actually helps you make progress.
Confirm session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling. Many people find that remote work helps them practice skills in the moments they face challenges, while still getting regular guidance from a licensed professional. -
