I’m Dr. Katie Carhart, a licensed clinical psychologist offering telehealth therapy for adults throughout Connecticut. I provide online therapy and specialize in working with high-functioning, overwhelmed, and emotionally sensitive adults who are seeking deeper support for chronic stress, ADHD, anxiety, burnout, and trauma. My approach is integrative and somatic-informed, blending evidence-based therapy with nervous-system and whole-person care.
​
Many adults reach out after years of holding everything together, only to 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. I work with clients across Connecticut, including those in Hartford, Fairfield County, New Haven, Stamford, and surrounding areas. You can read more about my overall approach to therapy here.
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. I provide online therapy as a licensed Connecticut telehealth psychologist specializing in trauma-informed care, ADHD therapy, and somatic approaches. Many adults who reach out to me are capable, insightful, and dependable, yet privately exhausted from holding everything together.
​
I support adults wanting online therapy in Connecticut who are 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”
-
Somatic therapy for nervous system dysregulation in Connecticut
​
Many clients seek therapy when insight alone isn’t enough and they want change that reaches the nervous system and their body.

I blend:

Supporting regulation through the body, not just talk.

Practical tools for organization, transitions, follow-through, and energy management.

Exploring attachment patterns, emotional themes, and internal narratives.
✔ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness/Mind-Body Tools:
Structured strategies for anxiety, avoidance, and overwhelm.

How Online Therapy Works in Connecticut

​
Sessions are held via a HIPAA-compliant platform and typically include:

My evaluations are thoughtful, trauma-informed, and designed to offer clarity, validation, and practical recommendations.
What is your therapeutic approach?
My approach is integrative and holistic, meaning I work with the whole person rather than focusing on symptoms in isolation. I draw from parts-informed (IFS-informed) therapy, CBT and CPT, and somatic and polyvagal approaches. This allows us to work with both insight and nervous-system regulation so change feels sustainable and embodied.

Many clients in Connecticut seek support for trauma and PTSD, anxiety, burnout, ADHD and executive-functioning challenges, relationship concerns, and nervous-system dysregulation. My work is integrative, trauma-informed, and body-based.
Who is a good fit for your practice?
I work best with adults who appreciate a therapist who can be both directive and collaborative. Sessions may include practical, evidence-based skills alongside deeper exploration of beliefs, relationship patterns, attachment, and nervous-system regulation. Many clients come to me after trying therapy in the past and feeling stuck, and are seeking a more personalized, integrative approach that meets them where they are.
