Katelyn Elliott , LPC

Katelyn Elliott is a Licensed Professional Counselor who draws on more than a decade of experience supporting people through addiction, mood disorders, trauma, stress, identity concerns, and LGBTQ matters. She holds a master’s degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (2012), is licensed to practice counseling in Pennsylvania, and has earned national counselor certification. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential that denotes professional licensure to provide mental health services, and National Certified Counselor reflects a nationally recognized certification in the counseling field.

Katelyn’s work is grounded in a humanistic perspective with a strong foundation in Existential Therapy. She approaches each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on building a collaborative relationship that encourages exploration of personal experience, meaning, and how one exists in the world. That process aims to help people connect with what matters to them and to discover lessons that contribute to growth.

In practice she integrates evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside existential exploration to address symptoms and foster purpose. Her style emphasizes presence, empathy, and a nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can examine their story, develop coping skills, and work toward greater self-understanding and direction.

Existential, Cognitive, and Motivational Approaches Online

Katelyn Elliott uses a blend of approaches that translates well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, values, and how clients relate to their life story - it can support people facing identity issues, life transitions, or grief. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which is especially useful for addictions and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Katelyn works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy with Katelyn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage that can fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel to appointments.
