Katie Hunter, LMHC

Katie Hunter, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, has 13 years of clinical experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes through a client-centered approach. She helps people who are managing chronic or terminal illness, caregivers facing heavy responsibilities, and partners of people with substance use concerns. Katie uses clear talk and practical strategies to address feelings of anger, guilt, shame, and loss of self that can come with major life changes.

Katie draws on client-centered therapy to listen and build trust. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that keep problems going. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and Trauma-Focused Therapy for processing past harm. These methods inform short-term problem solving and longer work when trauma or chronic stress is present.

Sessions focus on concrete tools and manageable steps. Katie helps people create routines for coping with anxiety, set boundaries when caregiving demands are high, and plan next steps after relationship changes. She also addresses workplace stress and career uncertainty with goal-oriented strategies.

Katie pays attention to how illness and caregiving change identity. She works with clients on grief, meaning, and practical self-care when chronic pain or serious diagnoses are involved. She also supports people dealing with obsessive behaviors, phobias, and post-traumatic stress.

Her style is straightforward and focused on usable skills. Katie encourages gradual change and helps clients track progress in real situations. Sessions are conducted in English and follow state licensure in Florida.
