About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Amit is a Florida licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also supports concerns such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and panic or social anxiety. Katie speaks English and has a decade of experience in clinical practice.
Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels hard.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps and clear tools that fit daily life. Katie draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and shift patterns that worsen anxiety. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take small actions toward what matters.
Attachment-based work and emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about closeness, boundaries, and trust. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals. Katie listens first, then suggests skills or experiments to try between meetings.
She helps parents facing postpartum concerns, people coping with separation or divorce, and those working through obsessions, compulsions, or hoarding behavior. Over ten years in practice has included varied settings and a wide range of concerns. Katie offers talks that break big problems into manageable steps and supports clients as they practice new habits.
If someone is ready to begin, she guides the matching and scheduling process so therapy can start quickly.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxious or depressive patterns. That approach is often used for panic, phobias, OCD tendencies, and social anxiety. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness and boundaries to improve relationship concerns and intimacy-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods to try based on a person’s goals, history, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer session work. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for quicker check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, coping skills between sessions, or for people who prefer typing. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
