About Katherine
Katherine Velez is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience helping adults facing major life transitions. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and related concerns such as attachment issues and workplace stress.
She focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions look at what feels most pressing and what small changes might ease daily strain. Katherine uses straightforward talk to help people identify next steps and manage strong emotions.
Her work also covers caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt or shame. She supports people who are navigating pregnancy and childbirth stress and those coping with post-traumatic stress. Life purpose and women’s issues are part of her practice too.
Katherine adapts the plan to each person’s situation rather than following a single script. She explains options and collaborates on what to try first. Progress is measured in skills learned and moments when life feels a little more manageable.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment to discuss goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Many of Katherine’s methods focus on evidence-based techniques that teach concrete skills. One common approach is problem-focused work that breaks issues into smaller, manageable steps and practices new behaviors between sessions to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Another approach involves emotion-focused strategies that help name and regulate strong feelings, which can be useful for anger, grief, or shame.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will talk about what has or hasn’t worked for you, discuss options, and adapt the plan as goals and needs become clearer. The initial session is an opportunity to set priorities and agree on a way forward together.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can work on issues without rearranging their entire day. If you need language support, sessions are available in English and Spanish. Licensed professionals can help you decide the format that best fits your schedule and goals.
