About Katie
Katie (Catherine) Leavitt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life changes. Her work includes coaching around life purpose and navigating separation or infidelity challenges.
Katie uses a mix of practical talk and active listening. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build clearer communication, stronger attachment, and more workable daily habits. Katie draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work and acceptance strategies to shift how people respond to difficult thoughts and feelings. She pays attention to relationship patterns and emotional bonds.
Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy guide conversations about closeness, distance, trust, and conflict. That focus is useful for people wanting better intimacy or fewer repeating fights. Katie also uses client-centered methods to keep therapy grounded in each person's goals.
That means sessions are shaped by the client's values and pace rather than a fixed script. Over time she helps people turn insights into small, steady changes. Before counseling she spent many years as an entrepreneur and business consultant.
That background informs her practical approach to problem solving and life transitions. Katie has four years of clinical experience working with diverse personal and relational struggles.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It emphasizes values and small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life, which is helpful for anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds, helping people understand closeness and distance in their connections and repair ruptures.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. She collaborates to try approaches that match a person's needs and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can fit into a busy life through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video offers face-to-face conversation for therapy that relies on emotional exchange. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or integrating brief skills practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during work weeks, parenting demands, or relocation.
