About Katherine
Katherine Sanchez Ciongoli is a bilingual licensed social worker based in New York who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and family concerns. She brings 29 years of experience to sessions and speaks both English and Spanish. Her style is straightforward and respectful, focused on practical steps parents and family members can use right away.
She emphasizes the strengths people already have and encourages small, doable changes.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens first and then helps clients clarify priorities. Conversations often center on communication skills, managing guilt or shame, and reducing isolation. She supports work on life transitions and finding purpose when motivation feels low.
Katherine helps people notice patterns and try new ways of relating within the family. Her approach is collaborative. Clients are treated as the experts on their lives while she offers guidance informed by many years of practice.
Parents often leave with concrete tools for handling conflict and improving connection. She also offers strategies for social anxiety and building self-love. Katherine’s background as a licensed clinical social worker gives her training in therapeutic work across a wide range of concerns.
She has worked for nearly three decades with diverse communities and brings that experience into each session. Her bilingual skill makes it easier for Spanish-speaking clients to express themselves. Beginning therapy with her starts with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits the client’s life.
Sessions are available in multiple online formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.
Therapeutic approaches and online options for family concerns
Many clients find benefits from evidence-based techniques that focus on present problems and relationship skills. One common approach emphasizes practical communication strategies - it teaches clear ways to express needs and set boundaries, which can ease recurring family tension. Another technique involves short-term problem-solving and behavior change, helping people break down big issues into manageable steps and track small improvements over time.Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist works together with each person to identify which approaches match their goals and preferences. Over the first few sessions she will suggest options, check what feels helpful, and adjust the plan based on what the client finds most useful.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation while phone sessions offer a simpler option when video isn't possible. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins and written reflections between meetings. These formats increase flexibility and let clients use the style of communication that works best for them.
