About Katie
Katie (Catherine) Leavitt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and major life changes.
Katie uses approaches that focus on emotions and attachment to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps clients name hard feelings, understand how those feelings shape behavior, and practice new ways of responding in day-to-day life.
Her background includes work as an entrepreneur and business consultant for 20 years, and experience in crisis management for individuals and couples. That mix informs a practical style that balances emotional work with concrete steps for change. Katie also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools when they fit the client's goals.
She supports people dealing with communication problems, control and dependent personality issues, avoidant patterns, infidelity, divorce and separation, postpartum depression, and questions about life purpose or midlife transitions. Work may include coaching elements for setting goals and building skills alongside deeper emotional work.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is focused on identifying and working with the emotions that shape relationship patterns and personal reactions. It helps people name hard feelings and change interaction cycles that cause distance or conflict.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions aligned with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where habits and avoidance get in the way.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns to understand how people relate to others and to themselves. It can be helpful for intimacy concerns, avoidant tendencies, and attachment-related anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review what is helping and adjust the approach as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy schedules, making shorter check-ins easier to manage, and allowing sessions without travel time.
