Katherine "Katie" Royer, LPCC - Therapist in New Mexico

About Katherine

Katherine "Katie" Royer uses a straightforward, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and changes in life. She is a licensed professional clinical counselor - LPCC - who brings 16 years of experience to her work in New Mexico. Katie aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable and supportive rather than overwhelming.

Katie focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through hard feelings.

Background and approach

She helps people build confidence, improve motivation, and cope with loss. Her practice also addresses concerns like sleep problems, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and issues related to identity such as LGBT concerns. Her style blends practical skills and emotional understanding.

Katie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns in thoughts and actions. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to explore relationship patterns and emotionally-focused methods to strengthen emotional awareness. Mindfulness techniques are part of sessions when they fit a person’s needs, helping with grounding and stress regulation.

Katie also offers support for more specific issues including jealousy, obsessions, compulsions, and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Clients work together with Katie to set clear goals and try small, manageable steps between meetings. She frames therapy as a partnership where people learn new ways to cope and move forward at their own pace.

Online approaches that match your needs

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. It can help people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and develop more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Katie works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She will adjust the plan over time based on what helps most and what feels useful to the person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to check in between meetings when needed. For many people, remote formats reduce travel time and let them access licensed professionals from their home in New Mexico.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
