Katie Hunter, LMHC

Katie Hunter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction-related relationship changes, and the strain of chronic or terminal illness. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at easing daily burdens so clients can move forward one step at a time.

She often supports caregivers and partners who are worn down by long-term illness or a loved one's alcohol use. Sessions look at the emotional toll of caregiving and the loss of roles and identity that can come with major life changes. Katie helps people untangle guilt, shame, resentment, and exhaustion so they can find clearer choices about next steps.

Katie uses a blend of client-centered work and evidence-informed therapies. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and from Trauma-Focused Therapy when past wounds are part of current pain. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques add skills for emotion regulation and practical problem solving.

Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth. She aims to make sessions feel like a thoughtful conversation, where practical tools are paired with attention to feelings. The goal is meaningful change that fits each person’s life and values.

Katie practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English. People interested in starting therapy choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Katie blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor online work to each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship, helping people speak openly about fear, grief, and caregiver strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past events continue to affect emotions and reactions, offering gentle ways to process painful memories and reduce their hold.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies so sessions stay useful and relevant to the issues at hand.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and help people fit brief check-ins into busy days. It can also allow conversations to continue when in-person visits are difficult, while still focusing on skills, emotional processing, and practical problem solving with a licensed professional.
