About Katherine

LPCC licensed in New Mexico with 16 years of experience, Katherine "Katie" Royer helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also supports concerns related to parenting, sleeping, anger, jealousy, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.

Katie uses a mix of approaches to guide practical change. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She uses attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work to look at relationship patterns that affect how people feel and relate to others. Mindfulness practices are used to build attention and reduce reactivity.

In a typical meeting she helps people notice what is getting in the way, try small experiments, and talk through difficult feelings. Conversations are intended to be direct and clear so people leave with specific ideas to try between sessions. The focus is on short-term coping and on longer-term change when that fits the person's goals.

Katie has worked in clinical settings for over a decade and a half. That background includes helping people cope with life changes and recover from upsetting experiences. She favors approaches that combine practical skills with attention to emotional experience and relationship patterns.

To begin she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.

How attachment work, CBT, and mindfulness translate to online sessions

Attachment-based approaches focus on patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect feelings. In online sessions this means talking through relationship moments, naming repeated ways of reacting, and practicing new ways of relating to others in real time. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors. Online work often includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, setting small behavioral experiments between sessions, and reviewing results together. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and calm through simple exercises people can practice during the week to reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, life situation, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made and as different issues come up.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Practical benefits include easier scheduling around work or parenting, the ability to use screen-based resources during a session, and trying skills between meetings with guided follow-up.
