About Katie

Katie (Catherine) Leavitt is an LPC based in Idaho who helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that encourages clients to meet themselves in new ways and build awareness through a trusting therapeutic relationship. Katie emphasizes that while each person’s story is unique, many struggles are common and can be approached through renewed understanding and practical strategies.

Drawing on four years of clinical experience and a background that includes entrepreneurship and business consulting, she blends evidence-informed methods to support emotional healing and growth. Her work includes coaching elements and attention to attachment and communication patterns, helping clients navigate issues such as control or dependent personality traits, infidelity, forgiveness, and transitions like divorce or postpartum depression.

Katie’s approach aims to help clients discover a more authentic, resilient sense of self and healthier ways of relating to others.

How evidence-based approaches meet online flexibility

Katie often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to change emotional and behavioral responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and acceptance of difficult feelings, helping clients move toward meaningful goals even when discomfort remains.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals and may draw from attachment-informed ideas or client-centered techniques when relational patterns are central. This flexibility allows for an individualized plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with Katie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and easier access from across Idaho. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue consistent work between sessions while tailoring communication style to what feels most helpful for the client.
