About Katie

Katie (Catherine) Leavitt is an LPC based in Idaho who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical coaching alongside clinical care to help clients manage anger, improve self-esteem, and navigate separation, infidelity, and other painful relationship events. Katie also works with attachment concerns, communication and control issues, dependent and avoidant personality patterns, postpartum depression, and midlife questions about purpose and direction.

Her approach blends evidence-based therapies with a warm, collaborative stance. Katie draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed action, and Emotionally-Focused and attachment-informed work to strengthen connection and emotional understanding in relationships.

With four years of counseling experience and a background that includes two decades of entrepreneurship and consulting, she brings both clinical training and real-world problem-solving skills to sessions.

As a licensed professional counselor (LPC, ID LPC LPC-8189), Katie aims to create a trusting therapeutic relationship that honors each person’s uniqueness while offering concrete tools and curiosity-driven exploration to foster lasting change.

How Katie’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. In online sessions this can translate into concrete exercises, values exploration, and small action plans that fit daily life. Emotionally-Focused and attachment-informed work focuses on recognizing and reshaping patterns in close relationships by exploring emotional responses and interaction cycles, which can be explored through joint sessions or individual work to improve connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, assess which methods feel most useful, and adapt techniques to the client’s preferences and needs. This helps ensure therapy evolves as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, try different therapeutic exercises between sessions, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
