About Katie
Katie (Catherine) Leavitt helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and the daily challenges of life change. She also supports people navigating ADHD, attachment concerns, communication problems, and challenges around infidelity, divorce, or midlife questions.
Katie is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Idaho and brings a straightforward, compassionate style to sessions. Katie aims to build a trusting connection and a clear plan in therapy.
How Katie works
She listens carefully, asks practical questions, and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on real steps that can be tried between meetings along with reflection on patterns that keep problems stuck.
Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-informed work to improve how people relate to others. She blends these so conversations stay useful and grounded. Katie has four years of counseling experience and a background that includes entrepreneurship and business consulting.
That helps her offer pragmatic strategies alongside emotional work. She is familiar with crisis management and complex, layered situations. Therapy sessions may take place through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

How Katie Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood, and problematic habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and helps people build more stable connections and better communication.Katie treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what's been tried before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as progress is made or new issues appear.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is best for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or have shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, parenting, and busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
