About Katherine
Katherine "Katie" Royer is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 16 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, handle anger, and ease anxiety while supporting people through grief, trauma, and mood challenges. Katie favors straightforward conversations where people can speak honestly without judgment.
She helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behavior and then practices small changes they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions are rooted in empathy and respect, with an emphasis on what works day to day. Her work includes attention to self-esteem and motivation, and she offers support for concerns tied to LGBT identity, bipolar mood shifts, sleep problems, and parenting strain. She also addresses obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and jealousy in ways that break large problems into manageable steps.
Katie draws on several clinical approaches to shape treatment to each person. She uses techniques that build healthier emotional bonds, focus on present feelings, and train practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness practices are often introduced to help calm the body and steady attention.
Clients can expect a collaborative process. Katie listens first, helps set clear goals, and adjusts methods as needs change. Her New Mexico licensure as an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) is noted for those checking credentials.
Work with Katie is aimed at steady progress rather than instant fixes. She supports each person in finding steps that fit their life and pace, helping them feel more in control and better able to cope.

Blending proven approaches for online emotional work
The online practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to address thinking patterns and bring attention to the present moment. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing skills to calm the body and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss goals, and recommend techniques that fit each person. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video lets people read facial cues and practice new interactions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or comfort with video is limited. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, journaling support, or when a quick strategy refresher is needed. These options are intended to increase flexibility and help therapy continue around work, family, and other commitments.
