Real Tools for Real Change
Hi, I'm Katie Hummel, MSW, LCSW
I specialize in working with OCD and anxiety disorders in St. Petersburg, FL. I also offer couples counseling for those who feel stuck, disconnected, or caught in recurring patterns and want to find a new path forward.
I'm an empathetic, straightforward, and down-to-earth therapist. My goal is to make therapy a comfortable and genuine experience — a place where you can come as you are, feel understood, and collaboratively address what's been weighing on you.
As a private-pay therapist, I focus on providing personalized care that meets your individual needs and goals. Therapy can provide a safe space where you feel heard and understood while learning new tools to cope with intrusive thoughts, fears, and stress.
Together, we'll examine the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, working toward meaningful change. My role is to offer guidance, perspective, and support as you put these strategies into practice. Ultimately, my goal is to help you thrive, build self-confidence, and discover your inner strength. I utilize gold-standard treatments such as Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), combined with mindfulness to focus on the present moment. Additionally, I work to identify deep-rooted issues that may be subconsciously contributing to your distress. In other words, I focus on the whole person rather than just the symptoms, so you can truly begin to feel better instead of merely placing a bandage on the surface-level issues.
I support clients aged 18 and older and embrace all backgrounds and identities. My mission is to create a welcoming environment where everyone can be their authentic selves — because you are truly amazing just the way you are! If you're searching for an OCD therapist or anxiety disorders therapist in St. Petersburg, FL, I'm here to help.

I do not think I have the proper words for how life saving Katie is! I have seen many therapists before and Katie has given me the tools to regain control of my life. OCD used to rule me but with Katie I have started living my life to the fullest even with OCD! Each session is tailored to me and what is going on in my world. She challenges me in ways I did not know possible, but the growth is worth it! Katie is truly one of kind and I would recommend her to anyone struggling with their mental health!

If you are looking for someone who listens deeply, challenges you with compassion, and truly honors your story — this is the therapist you want in your corner! It has been over two years since I started working with Katie, and I can honestly say it has been life-changing. Together, we have unpacked and worked through deep-rooted generational trauma that I did not even realize I was carrying. They have helped me find my voice and set my boundaries.

Katie is the absolute best. I have been doing therapy with her for a while now, and I am a different person than I was! Katie is caring, kind, funny, and makes you feel normal and heard. I could not imagine anyone else being my therapist. I highly recommend Katie for any therapy!

Katie Hummel has been incredibly helpful in teaching and encouraging me to work through my anxieties and live the life I have always been too fearful to live. Since seeing her, I am a version of myself that I never thought I would be and I am so grateful for that! She is a great listener, speaker, teacher, and motivator. I highly recommend seeing her if you struggle with social anxiety, OCD, or childhood traumas.
