About Katie
Katie Hunter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on helping people who are carrying heavy emotions from illness, caregiving, addiction, loss, and major life changes. Her approach aims to make hard feelings easier to manage so daily life feels less overwhelming.
She uses client-centered methods to build a supportive space where people can speak honestly and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of thinking.
Background and approach
Katie also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to shape how someone feels and reacts. Many clients come because anxiety, grief, or caregiver stress has worn them down. She helps people who are struggling with chronic or terminal illness, those supporting loved ones, and partners affected by a spouse's alcohol use.
She also addresses issues like obsessive behaviors, phobias, anger, and questions about life purpose. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. Katie often pairs skills practice with simple, realistic steps people can try between sessions.
She emphasizes small changes that fit into a busy life rather than large, sudden shifts. Therapy is tailored to each person's needs and paced to match what they can manage. Katie supports people through grief, trauma, and transitions while helping them rebuild confidence and a clearer sense of direction.
Approaches for stress, trauma, and life change online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a nonjudgmental space. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps you name priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses to reduce anxiety or worry. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on how past events affect current reactions and teaches ways to manage triggers and painful memories while building coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try techniques that fit your situation. Together you can adjust methods over time so the work feels useful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by phone, video calls, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let you see and hear each other for full conversations. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth varies or when a focused check-in works best. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, to share progress, or to work through skills between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care when travel or caregiving duties make in-person visits difficult.
