I’m Dr. Katie Carhart, a licensed clinical psychologist offering telehealth therapy for adults throughout Connecticut. I specialize in working with high-functioning, overwhelmed, and emotionally sensitive adults seeking deeper support for burnout, anxiety, ADHD, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation through an integrative, somatic-informed lens.
Many adults reach out when they’ve spent years holding everything together and realize that insight alone hasn’t been enough. Therapy can help you make sense of long-standing patterns, reduce emotional strain, and create change that feels sustainable rather than effortful.
What I Help With
Connecticut is home to many high-responsibility roles, healthcare, education, leadership, caregiving, and professional environments with significant emotional and cognitive demands. Many adults who reach out to me are capable, insightful, and dependable, yet privately exhausted from holding everything together.
​
I support adults navigating:
-
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
-
Anxiety, chronic stress, and difficulty slowing down
-
ADHD or suspected ADHD, including executive functioning challenges
-
Perfectionism, overthinking, and high internal standards
-
Trauma responses such as shutdown, freeze, or hypervigilance
-
Difficulty setting boundaries or prioritizing personal needs
-
Feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or “not like yourself”
​
Many clients seek therapy when insight alone isn’t enough and they want change that reaches the nervous system and their body.
My Approach (What Makes Therapy with Me Different)
My work is integrative, trauma-informed, and neurodivergence-affirming, designed for adults who want both depth and direction.
​
Learn more about my approach here.
​
I blend:
✔ Polyvagal Theory & Nervous System Regulation
Understanding how stress, threat, and safety shape emotional and behavioral patterns.
✔ Somatic and Embodied Approaches
Supporting regulation through the body, not just talk.
✔ ADHD & Executive Function Support
Practical tools for organization, transitions, follow-through, and energy management.
✔ Depth-Oriented Insight Work
Exploring attachment patterns, emotional themes, and internal narratives.
✔ CBT, ACT, and Mind-Body Tools
Structured strategies for anxiety, avoidance, and overwhelm.
​
This approach allows us to stay focused on goals while remaining responsive to what’s happening in your real life.

How Online Therapy Works in Connecticut
I am licensed in Connecticut and provide secure telehealth therapy to adults across the state via my PSYPACT credentialing, including New Haven County, Fairfield County, Hartford, and surrounding areas.
​
Sessions are held via a HIPAA-compliant platform and typically include:
-
90-minute initial intake
-
50-minute weekly or biweekly sessions
​
Telehealth is well-suited for adults balancing professional demands, caregiving roles, or limited availability.
Psychological Testing & ADHD Evaluations
​I provide telehealth-based adult ADHD evaluations and psychological assessment services for Connecticut clients when appropriate. These evaluations are designed to offer nuanced diagnostic clarity and actionable recommendations.
Learn more about testing and assessment here.
Therapy Intensives
For individuals seeking focused support without long-term weekly therapy, I offer therapy intensives. To learn more about my intensives go here.
​
• Somatic / Polyvagal Reset Intensive
For anxiety, trauma responses, burnout, or emotional overwhelm.
• Executive Function / ADHD Reset Intensive
For planning challenges, time blindness, avoidance cycles, and follow-through struggles.
​
Each intensive includes:
-
A 4-hour therapeutic deep dive
-
Personalized tools and strategies
-
A tailored PDF action plan
-
A 45-minute follow-up session within 2–4 weeks
​
We can also tailor an intensive to you based on your concerns and the skills you hope to focus on.
Who I Work Best With
My approach is a strong fit for adults who:
​
-
Are high-functioning but emotionally overloaded
-
Feel stuck despite insight or prior therapy
-
Identify as neurodivergent or highly sensitive
-
Appreciate clarity, structure, and emotional depth
-
Want sustainable change rather than surface-level coping
​
If you’re ready to explore an approach that supports both your nervous system and your daily functioning, I’m here to help.​
