Katie Drobney, LPC, LMHC - Therapist in Colorado

About Katie

Katie Drobney is a licensed counselor with 16 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, depression, and major life changes. She works with practical steps and creative tools so parents and caregivers can find clearer ways forward. Katie honors each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on strengths to build sustainable change.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She often uses art, music, or journaling when that fits a client’s preferences.

Background and approach

Those creative options are offered, not required, and she adapts to what feels useful for each person. Katie is trained in trauma-focused methods and in therapies that target emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She brings techniques that address intense emotions, panic symptoms, and post-traumatic stress.

Her aim is to help clients develop tools they can use between sessions. She also integrates spiritual perspectives when appropriate through transpersonal approaches, working with whatever beliefs a person already holds. That work is guided by the client’s comfort and goals rather than any single doctrine.

Sessions may include talking, structured skill practice, and creative exercises tailored to real-life parenting and caregiver demands. Katie practices in Colorado as a licensed professional counselor and a licensed mental health counselor, and she communicates in English.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive actions. It uses practical exercises and short-term skill practice to help people cope with stress and strong feelings.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a therapy that targets distressing memories and reactions to trauma. It involves guided processing of upsetting experiences to reduce their emotional hold and relieve post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Katie views choosing a therapeutic approach as a team effort. She will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying skill-based work, trauma processing, creative exercises, or a mix until a good fit is found.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone, live chat, and text options support shorter check-ins and flexible contact between sessions. These formats help people access consistent care from wherever they are in Colorado and balance therapy with parenting and caregiving duties.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
