About Katie
Katie Hunter uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and the upheaval that comes with illness and caregiving. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience. Katie writes plainly and meets people where they are in the moment.
Katie focuses on practical ways to get through hard days. She listens first, then works with each person to set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building for emotion regulation, better coping, and clearer decision-making. <br many people come seeking help after a medical diagnosis, during a chronic illness, or while caring for someone with serious health needs. Katie also helps people coping with addiction in a loved one, grief, anger, and shifts in identity after major life changes.
She pays attention to daily struggles like exhaustion, guilt, and loss of direction. Her style blends problem-focused tools with trauma-informed care. That mix lets her address immediate needs while also working on longer-term patterns that cause pain.
Techniques may include thought work, behavioral experiments, and grounding skills to reduce overwhelm. Katie aims to make therapy feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. She supports people in finding steps that fit their life and values, and she adjusts strategies as needs change.
Many clients use therapy to build steadier routines, stronger boundaries, and a clearer sense of purpose.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects concerns, clarifies what matters most, and helps people set achievable goals for day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It works well online through thought records, structured exercises, and homework to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be practiced and reinforced through brief messages, worksheets, and check-ins between video sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort with different formats. Sessions can shift focus over time if different strategies seem more useful, so the plan evolves with progress and setbacks.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling medical appointments, caregiving, or unpredictable schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and relationship-building. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and easier to fit around work breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to daily life.
