Katie O'Donnell Pietri, LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama and a Nationally Certified Counselor with a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Auburn University. I specialize in helping adults, teens, and couples navigate challenges related to anxiety, stress, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), low self-esteem, phobias, panic, and relationship difficulties. For individuals struggling with low self-esteem, I focus on taming the inner critic and fostering self-compassion to help clients build confidence and a positive self-image.

I take a relational approach to therapy, emphasizing the importance of connection and interpersonal dynamics in the healing process. In addition, I use experiential strategies to help clients gain insight into how stressors and relationships impact their mental health. My methods include evidence-based treatments such as Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) for OCD and Eye Movement Integration (EMI), which facilitates the integration of traumatic memories through targeted eye movements and body positioning. This holistic approach empowers clients to achieve personal and relational growth.

I currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, ALL Kids, Cigna/Evernorth, Optum, United Healthcare, United Behavioral Health, and Aetna insurance. All relationship sessions/pre-marital/marital are a self-pay only service.
