About Katie
Katie Drobney is a licensed counselor with 16 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and depression. She works from Colorado and speaks English. Katie aims to meet people where they are and support them as they take steps toward change.
She treats the person, not just the problem. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person's needs. Katie uses straightforward tools and a mix of creative options like art, music, or journaling when clients want them.
Background and approach
Katie often draws on trauma-focused approaches to help untangle painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to process traumatic material and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build coping tools for intense emotions and impulsivity. Her style is practical and respectful.
She asks simple questions and offers concrete strategies that can be used between sessions. Spiritual beliefs can be included in therapy when a client finds that helpful, and she adapts her work to match each person's values.
People come to Katie for help navigating life transitions, blended family stress, caregiver strain, panic and social anxiety, dissociation, and other challenges that affect daily functioning. Her goal is to help clients feel more capable and steady as they move forward.

How DBT, EMDR, and Trauma-Focused Work Online
DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving relationships. Online DBT sessions often focus on skill practice and problem-solving that clients can try between meetings.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process traumatic memories so those memories cause less distress. In an online setting EMDR can involve guided bilateral stimulation and careful pacing while the therapist helps track reactions and adjustments.
Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on recognizing how past events shape current reactions and building strategies to respond differently. This work is paced to match what a person can handle and can include grounding, processing, and skill-building during remote sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals, and decide together which methods fit your needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps create a plan that feels manageable.
Online formats offer flexibility and convenience. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, practice skills between sessions, or check in on busy days. These options help therapy fit into real life while still using evidence-informed methods.
