About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Royer is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and anger. Sessions are described as straightforward and focused on practical change.
Katie draws on several established approaches to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions and emotional responses.
Client-centered principles guide how she works in session, meaning conversations are led around what matters most to the person in front of her. Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to slow intense feelings and increase awareness of bodily signals that precede losing control.
She has particular experience with trauma and abuse, coping after loss, and shifts in mood such as depression and bipolar-related difficulties. Additional focus areas include jealousy and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Katie also supports people dealing with parenting strain and sleep disruption related to stress.
Katie keeps her language plain and practical. Sessions tend to involve clear, doable steps rather than long theoretical discussion. People looking to manage anger, reduce reactive patterns, or build steadier coping skills will find a pragmatic approach focused on real-life changes.
How sessions work
Approach and how online sessions can fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape emotional reactions. It can help people understand patterns that feed anger and frustration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce reactive responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's priorities and uses conversation to find practical next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate to decide which methods suit the person's goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is seen.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice new skills in day-to-day contexts and carry learning directly into real situations.
