About Katherine

Katherine Sanchez Ciongoli is a bilingual licensed social worker based in New York. She brings 29 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the strain of life changes. She also supports concerns around self-esteem, motivation, and family difficulties.

Her way of working centers on listening and building on what each person already knows about themselves. She treats people as the experts of their own lives and helps them use their strengths to move past obstacles.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps that feel doable. Katherine speaks English and Spanish, which can make it easier for bilingual clients to express difficult feelings. She emphasizes clear communication and helps people sort through guilt, shame, or social anxiety that gets in the way of daily life.

Over nearly three decades of practice she has seen many kinds of challenges. She helps people clarify values, find purpose, and rebuild self-love after loss or hardship. Her approach is patient and respectful, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Starting therapy with her involves small, concrete goals. Katherine works with clients to identify one or two immediate steps between sessions. This practical focus helps maintain momentum while addressing deeper concerns.

Practical approaches and online care

Katherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One approach emphasizes identifying small, manageable goals to reduce stress and build confidence; this helps people gain momentum with clear next steps. Another approach centers on strengthening communication skills to ease family tension and improve relationships, using role practice and direct feedback to make conversations feel easier.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Katherine listens to a person's goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try together. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so it fits what is working and what is not.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions can work better if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions or check in on busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a demanding schedule and keep work moving forward while addressing deeper concerns.
