About Katherine

Katherine "Katie" Amit is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and family concerns. Katie works with individuals and families facing trauma, relationship strain, ADHD, and parenting questions.

Her approach is warm and straightforward, created to help worried parents find practical ways forward. Katie listens first to understand what matters most in each household.

Background and approach

She uses clear, common-sense techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions often focus on simple skills parents can try between meetings. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about bonds and safety in family relationships.

Emotionally-focused methods are used when the goal is to improve closeness and repair patterns that keep people stuck. Katie adapts these approaches to each family's pace and needs. Clients can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where specific challenges are named and practical steps are created.

She aims to help parents reduce overwhelm, set boundaries, and improve communication. Progress is built one small change at a time. Katie also addresses issues like self-esteem, postpartum concerns, phobias, OCD symptoms, and caregiver stress.

She supports people through life changes such as divorce, career shifts, and parenting transitions. Her style balances empathy with straightforward guidance.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. Online sessions can teach short exercises to build values-based choices and daily routines that fit family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. Over video or phone, Katie can guide parents through simple homework and broken-down steps to change patterns that keep stress high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person or family to choose methods that match their goals and comfort. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan so techniques fit real life and daily schedules.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls make it possible to meet without travel, phone sessions can fit short breaks, and live chat or text-based messaging allow for quick check-ins or reflections between sessions. These options let families keep continuity of care around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities while working on lasting changes.

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.
