Alyssa Katz
I help adults who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed by daily life, people‑pleasing behaviors, and emotional dysregulation. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, procrastination, guilt, or fear of disappointing others. They want to feel more in control of their emotions, more confident in their decisions, and more capable in their daily lives. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 9 years of experience working with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout, and chronic overwhelm. I also work with individuals who identify as people‑pleasers and feel exhausted from trying to meet everyone else’s expectations. If you are looking for a therapist who understands how these patterns impact motivation, relationships, and daily functioning, I am here to help you move forward with clarity and self‑compassion.
My greatest strength as a provider is that I love the work that I do and that shows in my level of investment to you on our clinical journey together.
First session
In our first session, we will have brief introductions and focus on your expectations from therapy as well as touch base on any previous counseling you may have received to identify strategies that were successful or not. We will review presenting symptoms and struggles that have brought you to my virtual doorstep.
Strengths
My style is warm, direct, and practical. I focus on helping you understand your patterns, regulate your emotions, and build systems that actually work for your brain. Together, we will create realistic strategies that help you feel grounded, organized, and supported.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adults who are open and ready to change but may lack the coping skills or strategies to do so. Anyone who is ready to self disclose and is committed to treatment will benefit greatly. I find that adults who are creative, insightful, and willing to let me accompany them on their journey will find a voice that can help them cope in moments where they feel powerless and utterly alone.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I primarily use CBT to help clients identify irrational thoughts and fears that keep them locked in an anxious state. I have been using this method since 2017.
Humanistic
I primarily use a humanistic approach to assess needs that are either being met or not, the first time they meet with me. I also use it in the therapy process to gain self awareness. I have been using this method since 2014.
Attachment-based
I primarily use the attachment-based approach to build a strong alliance with the client and rebuild trust in the clients interpersonal relationships. I have been using this method since 2014.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
I primarily use DBT to help clients with emotion regulation as well as self-destructive behaviors. I incorporate mindfulness and collaborate with the client to do body mapping so that the client can identify how their body experiences certain emotional states. I have been using this method since 2017.
