   About Katherine

   Katherine "Katie" Amit is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy questions, and trauma-related issues. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence. Katie aims to make each session feel direct and compassionate so people can try small changes between visits.

   Katie uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients find motivation for change. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values. Sessions are conversational and tailored to the individual rather than scripted.

   Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens closely and helps people set achievable goals. Conversations often include concrete strategies for coping, short experiments to test new behaviors, and reflection on what matters most.

   With about ten years of experience as an LMHC in Florida, Katie has supported people facing obsessive thoughts, panic, phobias, postpartum mood concerns, caregiver stress, body image struggles, hoarding, and life transitions like divorce. She combines practical skills with attention to emotional needs.

   Katie welcomes people who are ready to try gradual change and wants to collaborate on a plan that fits daily life. She encourages straightforward talk about hopes and obstacles, and she adjusts the pace and tools to match each person’s needs.

2. How her approaches translate to online work

   Katie uses Motivational Interviewing to help people identify what matters and build their own reasons to change; this approach is conversational and works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting caught up in worry. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first, with the therapist offering empathic listening and reflecting back what’s most important.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katie treats the choice of methods as a collaboration, adjusting strategies based on a person’s goals and preferences. She will check in about what helps and shift focus if something isn’t working.
   
   The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to continue momentum through life changes and to practice new skills in everyday settings.
