I’m Dr. Katie Carhart, a licensed clinical psychologist offering telehealth therapy for adults throughout Florida. I specialize in helping high-achieving, overwhelmed individuals navigate burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, executive functioning struggles, and nervous system dysregulation through a warm, integrative, somatic-informed approach.


Many people I work with appear successful on the outside but feel reactive, exhausted, or disconnected from themselves internally. Therapy can help you understand what’s driving these patterns and begin building a life that feels grounded and supportive- not just managed.

What I Help With

​​​

Many Florida professionals and caregivers find themselves juggling demanding careers, family responsibilities, chronic stress, and a never-ending expectation to “hold it all together.” Whether you’re:

  • a high-achieving professional

  • a caregiver or parent

  • a health or service worker

  • a neurodivergent adult (ADHD, AuDHD traits, or suspected)

  • a perfectionist who’s exhausted

  • someone who feels overwhelmed or emotionally reactive

​​

…you deserve support that treats the root of the issue, not just the symptoms.

​

I work with adults navigating:

  • Burnout, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion

  • Anxiety, stress, and worry that feels hard to turn off

  • ADHD-related struggles with follow-through, planning, or organization

  • Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and high internal pressure

  • Trauma responses (freeze, shutdown, overfunctioning)

  • Difficulty regulating emotions or finding balance

  • Feeling “fine on the outside” but disconnected internally

​​

My clients are often highly self-aware, but insight alone hasn’t created the meaningful change they want. That’s where deeper, more integrative therapy can help.

​

My Approach (What Makes Therapy With Me Different)

 

My work is integrative, somatic, depth-oriented, and neurodivergence-affirming. You can learn more about my approach to therapy here.

 

I draw from:

✔ Polyvagal Theory & Nervous System Regulation

To help you understand your emotional patterns, stress responses, and triggers at a physiological level — not just cognitively.

✔ Somatic and Embodied Approaches

Because change happens through the body, not only through talking.

✔ ADHD and Executive Function Support

Using shame-free, personalized strategies that actually work for neurodivergent brains.

✔ Depth-Oriented Insight Work

Exploring the underlying beliefs, emotional patterns, and relational dynamics that keep you stuck in burnout or overwhelm.

✔ CBT, ACT, and Mind-Body Tools

For practical skills and day-to-day coping.

​

This combination helps you build awareness + regulation + real-world change: the three pillars required for sustainable healing.

​

How Online Therapy Works in Florida

 

As a Florida-licensed and PSYPACT credentialed psychologist, I provide telehealth therapy anywhere in the state.

 

Sessions are held via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform:

  • 90 minute initial evaluation

  • 50-minute weekly or biweekly sessions

 

Many of my clients in Florida appreciate telehealth because it offers flexibility around busy careers, family schedules, and commutes.

​

Therapy Intensives for Florida Clients

 

If you want focused support now, rather than spending months in ongoing therapy, I offer specialized intensives available to clients throughout Florida. You can read more about my intensives here.

​

• Somatic / Polyvagal Reset Intensive

For anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, trauma responses, or feeling dysregulated.

​

• Executive Function / ADHD Reset Intensive

For task initiation difficulties, avoidance, overwhelm, planning challenges, and ADHD traits.

​

Each intensive includes:

  • a 4-hour therapeutic deep dive

  • personalized strategies & skills

  • a tailored PDF action plan

  • a 45-minute follow-up session within 2–4 weeks

​​

These intensives are particularly effective for high-functioning adults who want meaningful momentum. We can also tailor an intensive to your specific concerns and the skills you want to focus on.

​

Psychological Testing & ADHD Evaluations for Florida Clients

I also provide telehealth-based psychological testing and adult ADHD evaluations for clients located in Florida. These evaluations are designed to offer diagnostic clarity and practical recommendations in a thoughtful manner, particularly for adults whose symptoms have been masked or misunderstood over time.

Who I Work Best With

 

My approach is often a strong fit for adults who:

  • are high-achieving but emotionally exhausted

  • function well on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally

  • are navigating ADHD or executive functioning challenges

  • have tried therapy before but want deeper, more embodied work

  • are seeking clarity, connection, alignment, and relief

  • value practical tools and meaningful insight

  • appreciate a warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental style

​​

If you’re someone who wants to understand yourself better and create more sustainable ways of living, I’d be honored to support you.

​

Other Locations I Work With

I provide telehealth services across most PSYPACT-participating states. If you’re located outside of Florida, you can view all locations here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work with you if I’m located in Florida?

Yes. I provide online therapy to adult clients throughout Florida using a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.

​

Are you authorized to practice in Florida?

Yes. I am authorized to provide telepsychology services in Florida through appropriate licensure pathways, including PSYPACT when applicable.

​

Do you provide ADHD evaluations for adults in Florida, especially late-diagnosed women?

Yes. I offer comprehensive ADHD evaluations for adults in Florida, with a strong focus on women who were overlooked or misdiagnosed earlier in life. Evaluations are trauma-informed and designed to provide clarity, validation, and practical recommendations.

​

What makes your approach different from traditional talk therapy?

While insight is important, it is often not enough on its own. My work integrates evidence-based strategies with somatic and nervous-system-informed approaches. I draw from CBT, CPT, parts-informed (IFS-informed) therapy, and polyvagal frameworks to support change that feels sustainable and grounded.

​

Who is a good fit for your practice?

My practice is a good fit for adults who want therapy that is both practical and depth-oriented. Many Florida clients come to me after previous therapy experiences that felt repetitive or unhelpful and are looking for a more personalized, integrative approach.

​

What types of concerns do you most commonly work with?

Clients in Florida often seek my support for trauma and nervous-system dysregulation, ADHD and executive-functioning challenges, anxiety, depression or burnout, and major life transitions. I frequently work with individuals who have high levels of insight but continue to feel stuck or depleted, and who are looking for a more integrative, whole-person approach.
