About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Amit helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma, and issues with self-esteem. She is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. Katie writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make starting therapy less overwhelming.
Katie uses a mix of practical strategies and listening. She draws from cognitive behavioral work to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
How Katherine works
She also uses acceptance-based ideas to help people live in line with what matters to them. Her style is down-to-earth and nonjudgmental. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills people can use between meetings.
She adapts pacing and tools to each person’s needs and current situation. She works with concerns that include ADHD, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic and phobias, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood issues, and life transitions like divorce or career change. Katie also helps with caregiver stress, body image, and struggles with isolation and purpose.
Therapy with Katie usually starts by identifying the biggest problems and concrete next steps. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior, and then focus on actions that match their values. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with panic, phobias, OCD symptoms, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and how they shape relationships, which can be useful for intimacy-related struggles and connection problems.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. From there she tailors techniques and pacing so the work fits the client's life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet the same goals as in-person work. Video calls let people use visual cues and do longer sessions, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit appointments around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities while using the therapist's chosen methods.
