About Katie
Katie Drobney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Colorado with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. Katie also notes a focus on blended family issues and caregiver stress among other concerns.
She encourages clients to use their own strengths and knowledge of their lives during sessions. Conversations are straightforward and practical. Creative methods such as art, music, or journaling may be used when the client wants them.
Katie draws on trauma-focused approaches and structured therapies to address intense reactions and painful memories. She integrates therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce distress and build everyday coping skills. Sessions include concrete tools people can practice between meetings.
When trauma is a concern she may work with methods that help process upsetting memories while paying attention to current coping needs. For anxiety and panic she uses strategies that teach breathing, grounding, and emotional regulation skills. For parenting and blended household stress she helps people sort priorities, routines, and communication steps that can fit into busy lives.
Sessions are a place to talk through what is hard, try new ways of responding, and test whether different strategies work. Katie respects each person’s beliefs and may include transpersonal ideas if that fits the client. She offers straightforward, experience-based support for managing concrete problems and painful experiences.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can help people who struggle with intense mood swings, impulsive reactions, or repeated crises by giving step-by-step practices to use in daily life.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a processing approach for traumatic memories. It involves guided attention and structured sets of work intended to reduce the intensity of painful memories and the reactions they trigger.
Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding how past events affect present behavior and feelings. The work typically combines practical coping skills with careful processing of trauma-related material so people can function more easily day to day.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels workable, then recommend methods to try. Plans can be adjusted as the client notices what helps and what does not.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for using materials like art or journaling during a meeting without moving locations.
