About Katie
Katie Drobney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Colorado with 16 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and people coping with life changes. Katie also lists young adult issues among her focus areas and helps those navigating early adulthood challenges.
Katie believes the client is the expert in their own story and draws on a person’s existing strengths. Sessions use straightforward talk alongside practical exercises. She offers creative options like art, music, or journaling when clients want them, and those tools are optional rather than required.
Her background includes training in transpersonal counseling, which brings a client’s spiritual beliefs into therapy if the person chooses to include them. She also uses approaches aimed at trauma and emotional regulation to address things like panic, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress.
In a session someone can expect clear, concrete skills practice as well as space to process difficult experiences. Katie combines therapeutic methods with hands-on exercises so clients leave with tools they can use between sessions. She explains techniques in plain language and checks in about how they fit the client’s life.
Katie’s practice also addresses caregiver stress, blended family issues, social anxiety, impulsivity, intellectual disability considerations, self-harm, and traumatic brain injury. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Colorado licensure standards as LPC and FL LMHC credentials are held.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on building concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It uses repeated practice of techniques so people can apply them in daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories by combining guided attention with structured sets of bilateral stimulation. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the effects of traumatic events and teaching coping strategies for symptoms like panic, dissociation, and hypervigilance.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made along the way based on what is helpful and what the client wants to focus on.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make attending therapy easier to fit around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Meeting remotely can also allow quieter surroundings or not being on camera depending on the format offered. Licensed professionals can adapt DBT skills practice, EMDR protocols, and trauma-focused work to remote sessions when appropriate, and Katie will discuss how each method can be used given the session options available.
