About Katie
Katie Drobney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 16 years of clinical experience in Colorado. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. Katie also lists social anxiety and phobia among her areas of focus.
Katie's approach treats the person as the expert in their own story. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most difficult and what has helped before. Sessions include practical skills and chances to try new ways of handling hard moments.
She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Katie also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for people processing traumatic events. She sometimes brings creative tools into sessions such as art, music, or journaling when clients want to try them.
Katie describes a collaborative style. She listens for strengths and builds on them while offering concrete strategies. Spiritual beliefs can be part of the work if a client wants that influence included, via transpersonal counseling methods.
People who prefer clear goals and step-by-step skill practice may find her ways of working useful. Katie encourages small experiments between sessions and checks progress regularly. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's matching and scheduling flow to arrange a first appointment.
Approaches and how online sessions support skill work
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching concrete skills for managing emotions, handling distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when strong emotions and impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used to process distress linked to upsetting memories. It aims to reduce the emotional intensity of those memories so they interfere less with daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on helping people process and make sense of traumatic experiences, often combining skills practice with processing work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether DBT skills, EMDR, or trauma-focused work is most appropriate. She frames this as a collaborative process where the client's needs guide which methods are tried and when.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone choose a session style that better matches their energy level, such as quieter audio-only check-ins or longer video sessions for skill practice.
