About Katie
Katie (Catherine) Leavitt is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, and grief. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that feel doable. Her style is straightforward and supportive, with an emphasis on building trust and clearer communication.
Katie keeps sessions focused on real problems and real solutions. She draws from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Background and approach
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters most and act on it. Her background includes four years practicing as a counselor in Idaho. She previously ran businesses and consulted for organizations for about 20 years, so she is comfortable with practical problem solving and coaching alongside therapy.
That experience informs how she helps clients navigate life changes and workplace stress. In sessions she pays attention to attachment patterns and how they shape relationships. She supports people dealing with intimacy issues, infidelity, divorce and separation, and communication problems.
She also works with concerns like control issues, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Katie offers a calm, goal-oriented approach that balances emotion work with skills training. She aims to help clients leave sessions with specific steps to try between appointments.
People who want a collaborative counselor and clear next steps may find her style helpful.
Approaches to Online Therapy and Relationship Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a more meaningful life. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and committing to actions that reflect what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to help people understand why they react the way they do with partners and loved ones, and it supports building safer emotional connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match goals and needs. She mixes strategies from CBT, ACT, and emotionally-focused work so the plan fits the person's priorities and comfort level rather than using a single fixed method.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when that format fits their schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or other obligations.
