Katie Drobney, LPC, LMHC

LPC, LMHC in Colorado with 16 years of experience. Katie Drobney helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. She works with adults and young adults, and uses practical tools alongside conversation to address difficult moments.

Katie centers the client’s perspective in sessions. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and highlights strengths that can be used to handle challenges. Sessions often include straightforward skills practice and choices about different ways of working, including creative options like art, music, or journaling when a person wants that.

Her clinical approach draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those methods are used to reduce overwhelming stress responses, process upsetting memories when needed, and build coping skills for day-to-day life. Katie also incorporates transpersonal counseling ideas when a person’s spiritual beliefs are part of their healing.

In session she breaks down steps into small, manageable actions. That can mean practicing breathing and grounding, trying a writing exercise, or learning new ways to respond to strong emotions. She explains techniques plainly and checks in about what feels useful.

Many people come for help after a major life change, an incident that feels traumatic, or when parenting and caregiver roles become stressful. Katie’s work aims to make symptoms easier to handle and to increase a person’s sense of control over their choices.
