About Katie
Katie (Catherine) Leavitt is an LPC - licensed professional counselor in Idaho with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, parenting issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD. She also works with anger, self-esteem struggles, and people coping with life changes.
Katie uses practical, structured methods in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try different ways of responding. Conversations are goal-oriented and often include concrete exercises between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and attachment-informed ideas.
Clients who bring relational problems find work on communication patterns and attachment concerns. She also addresses issues related to infidelity, divorce and separation, and forgiveness. When parenting or postpartum difficulties appear, sessions combine problem-solving and skills practice to make daily life more manageable.
Katie’s background includes experience in crisis management and business consulting before counseling. That experience shapes a straightforward, action-focused approach to problem solving. She describes therapy as collaborative work where effort between sessions matters.
Practical steps are emphasized. Sessions may include behavioral experiments, values-based exercises from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and discussion of how attachment patterns affect current relationships. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site process to begin.
How Katie uses structured approaches in online work
CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses brief experiments and clear skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that interfere with daily life. ACT focuses on values and committed action; it helps people accept difficult feelings while choosing steps that matter to them. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how past connections shape current reactions and communication.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Katie will work collaboratively to identify which approaches fit a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is tracked and goals evolve.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the environments where problems arise, which can make homework and behavior experiments more practical.
