She listens without judgment and helps clients untangle overwhelming emotions like anxiety, anger, guilt, and exhaustion. Her approach aims to restore a sense of self and hope when life feels destabilizing.

She has 13 years of clinical experience working with stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, caregiver strain, and relationship loss. Katie commonly supports people facing chronic pain, cancer, end-of-life concerns, and the fallout of a loved one’s substance use. She also addresses issues such as codependency, isolation, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and career stress.

Katie blends client-centered work with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions typically focus on skills you can use between meetings and on rebuilding day-to-day routines.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Katie helps people name what’s most painful, set small goals, and practice new ways of coping. She emphasizes strength and resilience, often reminding clients that healing can grow from difficult places.

Based in Florida, Katie offers care in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It prioritizes the client's perspective and builds sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences through paced, supportive work that helps people regain safety and control.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works together with each person to figure out which methods match their needs and goals. That might mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as progress and comfort change. Decisions about focus and pace are collaborative and based on what the client prefers.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels stressful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
