Katie Drobney, LPC, LMHC

Katie Drobney is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Colorado with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and life transitions. Katie emphasizes the client as the expert in their story and focuses on practical steps forward.

Katie uses a collaborative, strengths-based style. She supports people in naming what matters, building everyday skills, and making small changes that add up. Creative activities like art, music, and journaling are offered as optional tools to help express feelings and reflect on progress.

Her background includes working with trauma-related issues and approaches that address intense emotions and difficult memories. She draws from trauma-focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR-informed practices to shape sessions around each person's needs. Katie also uses elements of transpersonal counseling when clients want to bring their spiritual beliefs into therapy.

Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on skills people can use between meetings. Katie pays attention to impulsivity, dissociation, panic, and stress that interfere with daily life. She also supports those navigating blended family concerns, caregiver stress, intellectual disability-related issues, and challenges common in young adulthood.

Katie aims to empower clients to try new coping strategies and to build on what already works for them. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins so therapy stays focused and useful.

How DBT, EMDR, and Trauma-Focused Therapy translate online

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, coping with distress, and improving relationships. Online sessions can guide practice of these skills and work through real-time situations that come up between meetings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge through guided bilateral stimulation and focused memory work. When used remotely, the therapist and client work together to pace memory processing and use grounding techniques before and after sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding the impact of trauma and developing strategies to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. In online work this often means combining skill practice, emotional processing, and planning for triggers in a way that fits the client's schedule.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, symptoms, and comfort level. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adjust methods as needed to match progress.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or make it easier to work around caregiving and work schedules.
