About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Amit is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting challenges, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to feel steadier day to day. Katie draws on ten years of experience in mental health care to guide conversations and planning.
She uses a straightforward, compassionate style in sessions. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client's comfort.
Background and approach
Katie listens for what matters most and helps people notice how their body and emotions connect to thoughts and behaviour. Katie blends somatic-informed work with cognitive strategies and acceptance-based ideas. That mix supports people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck after loss, or blocked by anger or shame.
She also addresses issues like body image, intrusive thoughts, panic, and postpartum mood changes. Her work includes attention to attachment patterns and how relationships shape current struggles. Sessions may include grounding or body-based practices alongside talking and skill-building.
The aim is to build workable tools that fit everyday life. Katie tailors plans to each person's goals and circumstances. She supports people sorting out career transitions, parenting stress, caregiving strain, or the ripple effects of separation and divorce.
Her approach emphasises small, concrete changes that add up over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how tension, breath, and body sensations link to feelings and reactions. It is often useful for anxiety, panic, trauma responses, chronic stress, and physical signs of emotion. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and learning skills to accept difficult thoughts while taking steps toward a meaningful life; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early connections to understand current difficulties and improve how people relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and comfort. That process can include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, to check in between sessions, and to access help from home or while traveling. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver the same conversational work, skill practice, and somatic noticing that would happen in person.
