About Katelyn
Katelyn Elliott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, relationship struggles, and questions about identity. She brings 13 years of clinical experience to each session and focuses on practical ways to cope and find meaning. Katelyn listens without judgment and works alongside clients to find helpful steps forward.
She earned a master’s degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2012 and holds the LPC credential in Pennsylvania. Katelyn has spent much of her career supporting people with substance use and co-occurring disorders, mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, trauma and PTSD, and challenges related to LGBTQ identity. She also addresses issues such as parenting strain, grief, codependency, and compassion fatigue.
Katelyn describes her base approach as humanistic with a foundation in Existential Therapy. In practice she combines that perspective with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on understanding personal experience, identifying patterns, and trying new ways of responding to old problems.
In conversation she aims to help clients reconnect to what matters and to build tools for managing day-to-day stress. Her sessions tend to emphasize collaboration, clear goals, and learning skills that can be used outside of therapy. Katelyn often frames change as a process of discovering meaning and practical coping strategies.
The overall goal is to help people see their life story with more compassion and clearer purpose. Katelyn supports clients in taking manageable steps toward better emotional balance and a stronger sense of self.
How Katelyn’s Approaches Work Online and in Conversation
Existential Therapy asks questions about meaning and choice. It helps people look at how they live and what matters to them, which can be useful for identity concerns, life transitions, and finding direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills. It helps people spot patterns of thinking and behavior, try small experiments, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change. It supports people who struggle with addictive behaviors or mixed feelings about change by clarifying goals and strengthening commitment.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Katelyn will help clients identify which methods feel useful and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
