Katie O'Donnell Pietri, ALC

I am an Associate Licensed Counselor in the state of Alabama and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I received my Master of Education from Auburn University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working with adults, adolescents/teenagers, and couples. I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking help for stress, anxiety, panic, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. I specifically address general, health, social, relationship, and separation anxiety. 

I utilize experiential strategies in my practice to help client’s gain awareness into their life stressors and the impact on one's mental health and relationships. I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP), which is one of the most effective forms of treatment for OCD. Additionally, I utilize Eye Movement Integration (EMI), which is similar to EMDR, however involves a wider range of eye movements and positions to facilitate the integration of traumatic memories.

I currently accept Cigna/Evernorth, Optum, United Healthcare, United Behavioral Health, and Aetna insurance. For out of network, I can provide a superbill in order for you to make a claim with your insurance provider. I am under the direct supervision of George Casey, Licensed Professional Counselor – Supervisor in the state of Alabama #SC1513. I offer limited evening appointments to fit your schedule.
