About Katelyn
Katelyn Elliott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, mood concerns including bipolar, and questions around identity and LGBT concerns.
Her work starts with listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She uses a humanistic stance grounded in Existential Therapy, treating people as the experts on their own lives while helping them reflect on meaning and values. Practical tools are blended in where helpful, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps as well as bigger life questions. That might look like spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing communication skills, or examining how past experiences shape current choices. She also addresses co-occurring issues such as substance use and codependency alongside mood and anxiety concerns.
Katelyn trained at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and holds a master’s degree earned in 2012. Her background includes work with people navigating substance use, trauma and PTSD, and relational stress. She aims to be present in sessions and to offer a nonjudgmental setting for honest conversation.
For someone coping with parenting pressures, a difficult relationship, or persistent anxiety, she offers a mix of reflective conversation and concrete behavioral strategies. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Existential Therapy helps people examine values, meaning, and life choices. It encourages honest reflection about how someone wants to live and what matters to them. This can be useful when coping with parenting strains, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete skills for anxiety, panic, depression, and problematic substance use. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify readiness for change and supports practical steps toward new habits or recovery goals.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and shifting focus when needed.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as this profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can also guide practical skill work between sessions so that therapy fits into everyday life rather than feeling separate.
