About Katlyn
Katlyn Maurer is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She aims for clear, doable steps in sessions so clients can see progress between meetings. Katlyn works with adults and focuses on people in young adulthood through early midlife who are navigating career, relationships, and identity questions.
She earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019 and has six years of experience in multiple clinical settings.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in residential treatment, outpatient mental health clinics, and state facilities. Those roles gave her daily practice with mood and personality concerns, trauma, and complex life stressors. In sessions she blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Jungian ideas, and a client-centered stance.
That mix helps her teach coping skills, shift unhelpful thinking, and support deeper self-understanding. Katlyn aims to match strategies to each person’s needs rather than use one fixed method. Clients can expect straightforward goals, skill-building, and reflective work on values and life purpose.
She also addresses issues like self-harm thoughts, shame, workplace stress, caregiver strain, and the aftermath of sexual assault. The tone in her practice is warm and nonjudgmental, with attention to practical steps. Therapy with Katlyn often begins by identifying immediate coping needs and longer-term goals.
From there she helps people try different tools and adjust the plan as they learn what helps most.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, life transitions, and finding direction when things feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical skill-building to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It’s often used for anxiety, mood problems, and managing stress with clear exercises and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan over time. Decisions about methods are collaborative and based on needs, goals, and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls let you use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer audio only. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills in real time, or keeping momentum between fuller sessions.
