"Katie" (Catherine) Leavitt, LPC

About Katie

Katie (Catherine) Leavitt is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that people can use between sessions. Katie aims to build a trusting working relationship and support each person’s goals for clearer thinking and healthier connections.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, emotionally-focused work to strengthen connection, and acceptance-based practices to manage difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time shared between exploring patterns and practicing new ways of relating. Katie brings four years of counseling experience and holds the LPC credential, which stands for licensed professional counselor. She practices in Idaho and combines her therapy work with years of experience managing complex situations in business and consulting.

That background informs her practical, problem-solving style. People who come to Katie can expect straightforward guidance, clear homework when it’s useful, and a focus on what’s most important to them. She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns, and helps people navigate challenges like anger, control issues, forgiveness, and infidelity.

The goal is steady progress toward more satisfying relationships and a calmer daily life. For those dealing with parenting stress, postpartum depression, ADHD-related struggles, or major life changes, Katie aims to create a space to sort priorities and build manageable plans. Her work balances empathy with practical tools to help clients move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then focus on actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses concrete steps to change patterns that worsen mood or conflict. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and practical day-to-day coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and the emotions under them, helping partners or individuals understand and shift attachment and connection responses.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most helpful, and then tailor sessions collaboratively. The plan can change as needs evolve and progress becomes clearer.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable. Sessions online let people practice new skills at home and stay connected with a licensed professional without extra travel, which can make steady progress more achievable.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
