About Katie
Katie Hunter is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She draws on methods that center the person’s experience while teaching concrete skills for daily life. Katie speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.
She has 13 years of experience supporting people coping with chronic or terminal illness, caregiver strain, and the emotional fallout of addiction.
Background and approach
She helps clients who are juggling exhaustion, guilt, shame, and the loss of a previous relationship dynamic. Her work often includes support for career stress, self-esteem, and adjustment after big changes. Katie mixes client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to reduce upsetting thoughts and improve coping.
She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques when they fit the situation. Sessions tend to focus on what’s most helpful now and on building skills that people can use between meetings. People who work with Katie can expect a calm, direct style that names problems and teaches steps to address them.
She pays attention to how illness, caregiving, and addiction-related stress affect daily routines and relationships. The goal is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes. Katie encourages clients to bring their real-life struggles to sessions so they can practice new ways of responding.
She supports people through grief, anger, and complicated emotions while helping them find clearer priorities and more manageable routines.

Remote approaches that teach skills and build resilience
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and responding with empathy so clients feel heard. It helps when someone needs a calm space to name feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, anger, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, includes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits best. Together you’ll set short-term goals, track what helps, and adjust the plan so sessions remain focused and useful for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, share brief updates, or work through a specific moment when support is needed. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
