Katie Hunter, LMHC

Katie Hunter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, grief, trauma, caregiving stress, and life transitions. She focuses on the emotional impact of chronic and terminal illness, the strain that caregiving and a loved one’s addiction can place on relationships, and the identity shifts that often follow major changes such as job loss, separation, or serious health concerns.

Katie works with clients facing a wide range of concerns including stress, compassion fatigue, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, ADHD, and post-traumatic stress. She also offers support for cancer-related issues, caregiver distress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the complex emotions tied to forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

Her therapeutic approach draws on client-centered principles alongside practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and Trauma-Focused interventions to tailor care to each person’s needs. Katie believes that even a broken crayon can still create something beautiful - an outlook that shapes her hopeful and strengths-based work helping clients rebuild, adapt, and find meaning after difficult experiences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Katie Hunter uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where clients’ goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, rebuild identity, and make personal decisions that fit their lives.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is often helpful for clients seeking practical tools to manage symptoms and change unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Katie collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership helps shape a plan that can evolve as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing medical care, caregiving, work, or other demands. Katie provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels, making it easier for clients to stay consistent with care and access support when they need it most.
