Katie Hunter, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Katie

Katie Hunter is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who uses practical, person-focused methods to guide people through hard times. She centers sessions on what matters most to each person and works to make therapy straightforward and useful. Katie draws on 13 years of experience to help people find steady footing when life feels overwhelming.

She often helps with stress, anxiety, grief, and the emotional effects of chronic or terminal illness.

Background and approach

Caregiver strain and the strain that addiction places on relationships are also areas she addresses. Katie pays attention to how life changes - like job loss or separation - affect a personsense of self and daily functioning. Katie blends client-centered listening with specific skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.

She also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events are still causing pain. Solution-focused work is used to set short-term goals and create clear next steps. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelming feelings and build practical coping tools.

Katie helps people name what theyre facing, practice strategies for day-to-day challenges, and try new ways of handling hard moments. Her approach combines supportive listening with concrete tools people can use between sessions. Her practice is based in Florida and conducted in English.

Katie believes small changes add up, and she works with each person to find manageable steps toward relief and clearer thinking.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each persons priorities, making online sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and works well through video or phone sessions. Trauma-focused therapy targets the effects of past painful events and uses specific, paced techniques that can be delivered safely in an online format.

Katie will work with each client to figure out which approach or combination fits best. She uses an upfront conversation to set goals, explains why a method might help, and adjusts the plan together as needs change. That collaborative process helps clients feel involved in their own care rather than handed a fixed program.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during times of illness or caregiving, and follow up between meetings with messages or short check-ins. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver real skills and support without requiring travel, helping people access consistent care from wherever they are.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
