Katharine “Katy” Nicholson , LMFT

Katharine "Katy" Nicholson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York who brings a decade of clinical experience to work with families and individuals. She specializes in helping people navigate relationship and family dynamics, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, addictions, grief, and a range of other concerns that affect daily functioning and connection.

Katy frequently works with whole families while also meeting one-on-one with individual members to identify how personal needs are going unmet. She has specific expertise supporting parents who are seeking effective, empathetic approaches to caregiving, and she commonly focuses on improving communication and nurturing strained relationships. Individuals meet her to build practical skills, explore emotional patterns, and problem solve in a collaborative, warm environment.

Her clinical background includes Family Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic approaches, and Internal Family Systems. Years of work in outpatient community mental health have shaped her capacity to think quickly in complex situations and to use creative, tailored techniques when standard approaches fall short. She is persistent in working toward meaningful resolutions and has experience offering therapy through online counseling formats.
