About Katherine

Katherine "Katie" Amit is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a decade of clinical experience helping individuals and families navigate a wide range of concerns.

Background and approach

She addresses stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting questions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and many related issues such as body image, caregiver stress, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Her practice also focuses on life transitions, career concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, and perinatal mood challenges.

Katie blends evidence-informed methods into a collaborative, empathetic style that centers each person's lived experience. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) along with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, emotionally-focused interventions, and client-centered principles to shape individualized plans.

This means sessions emphasize practical skills, values-driven choices, and strengthening emotional connection while honoring each client's pace. Clients work with a clinician who emphasizes compassion, sensitivity, and tailored strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Katie frames the therapeutic process as partnership - supporting clients as they explore goals, develop coping tools, and take steps toward greater wellbeing from her Florida practice and through online options.

Approaches and Online Options for Practical Work

Online sessions often draw on specific evidence-based approaches to structure conversations and skills practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms through concrete exercises and homework. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so clients can move toward meaningful goals even when difficult thoughts or feelings occur. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people develop more supported ways of relating and communicating, which can be useful for family, intimacy-related, and relationship concerns.

Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore symptoms, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques from these methods to fit each person's needs rather than imposing a single model. This makes it easier to adjust focus over time as goals evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to continue consistent therapeutic work while balancing work, caregiving, travel, or other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to guide behavioral experiments, teach coping skills, and review progress across formats.
