About Katie
Katie Hunter is a Florida LMHC with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, chronic or terminal illness, caregiver strain, addiction, and life changes. Katie also lists concerns such as anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and obsessive or phobic symptoms among her focuses.
Katie helps people who are worn down by long-term caregiving or by a partner's substance use. She listens for the practical problems that make daily life harder, and she addresses the feelings that come with loss and illness. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can change how someone copes day to day.
Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to build emotional regulation skills and trauma-focused ideas when painful events need careful attention. Solution-focused tools are used to set clear, achievable goals for short-term change.
Katie describes working with people who feel exhausted, guilty, ashamed, or unsure how to keep going. She supports caregivers, people living with chronic illness, and those adjusting after major life transitions such as divorce or job loss. Practical skills and clearer planning are common parts of sessions.
The first meetings are used to map current struggles and priorities. From there she and the client set goals and pick methods that fit day-to-day life. The focus is on small, usable changes rather than long lists of theory.
How Katie applies CBT and DBT online
Client-centered work focuses on the person's concerns and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding; it is commonly used for anxiety, phobias, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Katie will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and daily demands, and then suggest methods to try. That decision is made together and can shift as needs change.
