I’m Katie Bernard, a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker certified in CBT-I for insomnia and provider of practical, evidence-based therapy for anxiety. I work with adults who struggle with chronic insomnia and sleep anxiety, anxiety, overthinking, panic, perfectionism. I provide online therapy throughout Florida and limited in-person sessions near Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch.

​

​My path towards becoming a therapist began a long time ago. I was the go-to friend for problem solving and conflict resolution and it only took one psychology class to point me in this direction. I love helping my clients put all the pieces into place to get to where they want to be, and I get a lot of joy from helping them reach their goals.

In addition to individual therapy, I also spent many years as a hospice social worker, which was an incredibly fulfilling career. I will always have a place in my practice for struggling caregivers or those who are grieving.

​

I'm a Pennsylvania native and made my way to Florida over 25 years ago. I'm married and our family includes an amazing son, an energetic pointer pup, and two sweet cats.

​

I love the fun and quirky and enjoy fantasy and sci-fi, being outside, and trying new things. 

​

So, if you're looking for a therapist who's down-to-earth, approachable, and ready to help you on your journey, I'm here for you. Let's get started!
