About Katie

Katie (Catherine) Leavitt is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Idaho who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting struggles. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, anger, low self-esteem, life changes, and ADHD. Katie uses a conversational, compassionate approach to guide people through change.

Katie frames problems as parts of a person's story. She draws on Narrative Therapy to look at how stories shape feelings and choices.

Background and approach

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful actions. Her style is warm and practical, with a focus on concrete steps and clearer communication. Clients can expect sessions that start with the immediate concern and move toward manageable goals.

Katie leans on attachment ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and communication problems. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Her background includes four years in counseling work and prior experience as an entrepreneur and business consultant.

That combination informs a pragmatic way of looking at life transitions, control issues, and career-related stress. Katie aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative problem-solving process.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Katie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and acceptance approaches work online

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Online sessions use conversation to separate a person from a problem, helping them see options they might have missed and rewrite parts of their story to support change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. In teletherapy this can mean short exercises, value clarification, and small behavioral steps between sessions.

Attachment-Based ideas help people understand why they repeat certain patterns in close relationships. Online work can include reflecting on past interactions, practicing new ways of asking for connection, and building clearer communication habits.

Katie treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Collaboration helps identify what feels most useful for each situation.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support quick check-ins, and text messaging suits brief updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to work around busy days and different schedules while focusing on steady progress.
