"Katie" (Catherine) Leavitt, LPC

Katie (Catherine) Leavitt is an LPC, a licensed professional counselor in Idaho, with four years of counseling experience. She helps people who are wrestling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship problems, and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, life transitions, and issues linked to ADHD and intimacy.

Her approach blends practical therapy methods with relationship-focused work. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns and intimacy are central concerns.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens for patterns in how people respond to stress and frustration. Then she helps build small, testable changes - such as different ways to communicate, new coping steps when anger rises, or experiments to shift rigid rules that cause conflict.

Katie brings experience from business consulting and crisis work into the room. That background shapes a practical way of looking at problems, especially when life changes or relationship breakdowns are involved. She combines concrete skills with attention to how attachment and emotion shape everyday reactions.

People who want clear steps for managing anger, improving communication, or handling midlife and parenting challenges will find direct, task-focused sessions. To start, she asks about present problems, what has worked before, and realistic next steps a person can try between sessions.
