About Kate
Kate Haigh is a Florida LMHC with five years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, and LGBTQ+ issues. She works with clients who face social anxiety, panic, grief, attachment worries, mood shifts, body image struggles, and life transitions such as divorce or separation.
She helps people process traumatic experiences and make sense of dissociative reactions. She supports exploration of gender and sexuality and the practical challenges that can come with that work. She also addresses communication patterns and relationship difficulties that get in the way of daily life.
Kate offers help for people managing chronic pain, illness, eating and fertility concerns, and the emotional impact of those conditions. She also talks through issues related to abandonment, shame, infidelity, and co-occurring diagnoses that complicate recovery. Her practice includes attention to alternative sexual cultures, including kink and BDSM, when clients raise those topics.
Her approach is based on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She works collaboratively, listening closely and helping people develop insight and practical skills to manage symptoms and improve relationships. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps rather than jargon.
People who prefer straightforward conversation and practical strategies tend to find her approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details to make sure they fit your routine.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Kate uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic, such as learning breathing and grounding strategies, testing anxious predictions, and building step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These techniques aim to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in everyday social settings.Another approach addresses trauma and dissociation by helping people name and organize overwhelming experiences, build stability, and practice grounding and coping strategies. This work often pairs symptom management with careful reflection on how past events affect current relationships and behavior.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match current needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit into workdays, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. If a shorter check-in, phone-based conversation, or video session works better for your routine, discuss those possibilities when scheduling.
