About Katherine
Katherine Velez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her tone is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at people who need straightforward support.
With 14 years of professional experience, Katherine draws on techniques that are grounded in evidence to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on usable skills for daily life, clearer communication, and ways to reduce intense emotions like anger and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, caregiving strain, workplace stress, and issues around guilt, forgiveness, or life purpose. Pregnancy and childbirth, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues appear among the topics she addresses.
Katherine adapts her approach to what someone brings to the first sessions rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she works with people in Connecticut and international clients. Katherine emphasizes practical steps and ongoing feedback so progress can be measured and adjusted.
If you’re looking for calm, steady guidance through a hard time, she aims to make the process understandable and manageable.

Everything Katherine lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Katherine's practice.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include skills training and short-term problem solving. Skills training teaches practical tools to manage strong emotions like anger or spikes of anxiety, and helps with building confidence and day-to-day coping. Short-term problem solving focuses on identifying specific issues, trying small changes, and seeing what works for everyday life.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will start by listening to your concerns and goals, then suggest approaches that fit your situation. Together you can adjust methods and pace as progress is made, and choose techniques that feel useful and realistic for your life.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into your routine. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping tips, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility in timing and format so therapy can continue even with a busy schedule.
