About Katherine

Katherine (Katie) Ssejjemba is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico and Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and she works from Texas.

Katie frames therapy around each person's strengths and personal story. She uses practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, emotionally-focused practices, and a client-centered stance. In a session she listens, reflects, and helps people try new ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then practices alternative actions to test what works. For parenting concerns she focuses on communication and managing caregiver stress rather than directing family sessions.

Katie also addresses grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation. She includes coaching elements for motivation, life purpose, and self-love when clients want practical steps alongside therapy. Attachment issues and communication problems are woven into many of these conversations.

She graduated from East Tennessee State University and holds LCSW credentials in NM and TX. The biography notes she works from home and often has her Boston Terrier nearby. To start, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule the first session.

How core approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward what matters, which can help with anxiety and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now. It helps people understand connection and closeness issues and work on more secure ways of relating, which is useful for intimacy concerns and caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then try approaches together to see what helps. This is collaborative rather than a fixed prescription.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid commuting time. It also allows conversations to continue across life changes when coming in person is harder. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises and practices so they translate into remote meetings, and this therapist uses practical skills from ACT, attachment work, and CBT in those conversations.
