About Katie

Katie Drobney is a licensed counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, depression, and big life changes. She brings 16 years of experience and a calm, straightforward approach. Katie speaks plain language and focuses on practical steps families and individuals can use day to day.

She sees each person as the expert in their own story. Sessions start by listening to what matters most to the client and identifying small, achievable goals.

Background and approach

Katie combines talk therapy with hands-on tools so people leave with clearer ways to cope between sessions. Her work often includes creative activities like art, music, or journaling when clients want them. These activities are optional and chosen together during sessions.

She also draws on transpersonal counseling ideas when spirituality is part of a person’s life and their healing process. Katie uses several well-known clinical approaches to guide treatment. She integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and stress, trauma-focused practices for processing difficult events, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate for trauma work.

Choices about methods are made collaboratively and adjusted as progress is tracked. People who come to Katie can expect a supportive, practical environment. She aims to build coping skills, reduce overwhelming symptoms, and help clients find clearer ways forward.

Katie practices in Colorado and offers sessions in English.

Online support

How trauma-focused methods translate to online care

Many of Katie's approaches can be used effectively in online sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships; it uses short exercises and skills coaching that adapt well to video or messaging. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and integrating traumatic memories through paced conversations and practical grounding techniques to reduce overwhelming reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured phases for processing traumatic material and can be adapted for remote work when agreed upon during session planning.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Katie will help a person decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find techniques that feel manageable and useful between meetings.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular care. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for ongoing coaching, quick skill reminders, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still using structured approaches like DBT, trauma-focused work, and EMDR.
