About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Amit is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, family concerns, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related problems.
Katie uses a mix of practical approaches to help people manage symptoms and solve problems. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships influence feelings and responses.
Sessions are conversational and focused on concrete steps. Katie helps clients break issues into manageable pieces, try out new skills, and review what works. She aims for clear goals and pacing that fits everyday life at home and work.
Her background includes a decade of work with people dealing with trauma, family conflict, parenting stress, and mood or anxiety disorders. That experience informs how she prioritizes safety, pacing, and problem-solving in sessions.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback, practical home exercises, and a focus on what is changeable now. Katie also pays attention to broader life stresses such as career pressures, caregiver burden, and perinatal mood concerns. If you want to address a specific family or parenting strain, she can help you clarify steps and plan for next conversations or changes.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to tolerate uncomfortable feelings. It can help when worry, avoidance, or perfectionism get in the way of family life or parenting goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses focused experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for panic, OCD symptoms, and everyday stressors that affect relationships.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is difficult. It also lets people show up from wherever they already are, which can help keep progress steady between appointments.
