Katie Hunter , LMHC

Katie Hunter offers compassionate, practical support to people facing the emotional fallout of illness, caregiving responsibilities, addiction in a partner, and life transitions. She works with individuals coping with anxiety, grief and loss, chronic or terminal illness, and the identity disruption that can follow major life changes such as job shifts or relationship endings. Katie also supports caregivers who carry the heavy demands of caring for a loved one and spouses navigating the strain of a partner's alcohol use.

Her approach centers on helping people move beyond feelings of exhaustion, guilt, shame, confusion, and resentment toward renewed coping and restored sense of self. She assists those wrestling with questions about whether things will improve and how long they can sustain a need to always be strong. Katie brings a belief that healing and growth are possible even after difficult experiences - a perspective captured in her guiding metaphor that even a broken crayon can still create something beautiful.

Katie is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) who combines empathy with practical strategies to help clients find resilience and meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Katie Hunter integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting each person where they are - it helps people explore their feelings, build self-awareness, and reclaim a sense of control during illness, caregiving, grief, or major life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with practical strategies - it is effective for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges because it teaches tools clients can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Katie can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and limited mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit therapy into real life while working toward meaningful change.
