About Katie
Katie Hunter is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes. She draws on 13 years of experience to help clients manage stress, anxiety, grief, caregiver strain, addiction-related stress, and ADHD. Katie listens with a calm, straightforward style and centers each conversation on the person in front of her.
She helps people name what feels hardest, sort priorities, and choose small steps that reduce daily pressure.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on usable skills and clearer thinking rather than long explanations. Her approach blends client-centered conversations with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused work. That means she values empathy and collaboration while also offering concrete tools to change difficult patterns.
She can teach coping skills for panic, patterns that keep guilt or shame alive, and ways to handle relationship strain tied to addiction or illness. Katie also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused methods to help clients manage emotion and build practical plans.
These strategies can be useful for managing anger, obsessive thoughts, chronic illness stress, and the daily realities of caregiving. People who come to Katie often want help getting through a specific crisis, rebuilding after loss, or learning how to live with long-term health challenges.
She aims to help clients feel steadier, less alone, and more able to make choices that fit their life and values.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In online sessions this looks like the therapist following your lead, reflecting what matters to you, and helping you set goals that feel achievable. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Online CBT often uses short exercises, homework, and structured check-ins to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address ADHD-related challenges. Trauma-focused therapy helps people process past injuries and learn grounding skills to manage distress; it can be adapted for video or phone work with careful pacing and skill practice.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Katie will talk with you about your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. That collaborative stance makes it easier to try new skills and change direction when something isn’t working.
Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send quick updates, practice skills between sessions, or have shorter touchpoints during a hectic day. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, and medical schedules while keeping focus on usable tools and steady progress.
