Many people see her for concerns related to chronic or terminal illness, caregiver strain, and the fallout from a partner's substance use. She also helps with anger, low self-esteem, obsessive thoughts, phobias, and the stress that comes from career shifts or major relationship change.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Katie works with each person to set realistic goals, build skills, and test changes between sessions. She frames healing in simple terms and looks for small, steady steps toward feeling more like yourself.

Katie practices in Florida as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for remote care.

How Katie’s Approaches Work Online

CBT helps people identify thoughts that fuel anxiety, depression, or stress and then test new, healthier ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for worry, phobias, obsessive thoughts, and the day-to-day work of changing habits. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping a person find their own answers through supportive conversation and reflection.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then recommend a mix of CBT, client-centered work, or DBT skills when strong emotion regulation is needed. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working for the individual.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for a full session with visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports quick updates or reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
