About Katlyn
Katlyn Hill is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and other mood or behavioral challenges. She also addresses issues such as eating concerns, intimacy-related problems, and coping with major life changes.
Katlyn uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside cognitive-behavioral strategies and dialectical skills in her sessions. She blends these approaches with EMDR and mindfulness tools when appropriate. In practice she focuses on naming emotions, noticing patterns, and learning skills to manage difficult moments.
Sessions are conversational and active. Katlyn listens for the feelings and interactions that keep problems stuck. She offers concrete tools - like thought records, emotion-focused experiments, grounding skills, and brief behavioral plans - that clients can try between sessions.
Her work also explores body image, control issues, dissociation, and trauma-related symptoms such as panic and post-traumatic stress. She supports people dealing with fertility concerns, domestic violence histories, and challenges tied to intellectual disability when those come up in therapy.
People meet Katlyn to learn clearer ways to cope, reduce overwhelming reactions, and make different choices in relationships and day-to-day life. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk through goals and next steps.
How EFT, CBT and DBT translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and making sense of strong emotions and the interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used when emotions are hard to name or when relational patterns repeat. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katlyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean prioritizing emotion-focused work in one period and using CBT or DBT skills at other times, according to what helps most.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people try exercises such as in-the-moment emotion naming, brief behavioral experiments, and mindfulness practices during ordinary routines. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work in a virtual setting while focusing on the practical steps clients want to use between sessions.
