About Katelyn

Katelyn Peers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in mental health. She brings a practical, caring approach to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate hard moments. Katelyn aims to make therapy feel personal and grounded, not clinical or distant.

She has spent much of her career supporting people who face trauma and complex life changes. Her work has included involvement with foster care and adoption-related concerns, and she has experience addressing grief, parenting stress, and relationship problems.

Background and approach

She also has pastoral counseling experience and has met people in church settings for guidance. Katelyn uses tools from Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people tell their stories differently and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also draws on Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused approaches when those methods fit the situation.

Her style is warm, interactive, and respectful of each person’s beliefs and background. Faith is important to Katelyn and she welcomes conversations about spirituality when that helps a person heal. She does not impose beliefs and adapts her work to match what clients find useful.

Her priority is treating people with sensitivity, dignity, and compassion. Sessions with Katelyn typically focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She helps set clear goals and checks in on progress.

The tone in sessions is straightforward and hopeful, with an emphasis on small, sustainable changes.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Katelyn directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches translate to online therapy

Online sessions with Katelyn draw on Narrative Therapy to help people retell difficult experiences and see themselves differently. That work focuses on the stories people carry and looks for alternative meanings that reduce shame and increase agency.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT provides concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean blending narrative storytelling with CBT exercises or adding solution-focused steps for quick progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, short coaching-style support, or people who like writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life rhythms.
