About Katherine

Katherine (Katie) Ssejjemba brings seven years of clinical social work experience to her practice and holds an LCSW licensed in New Mexico and Texas.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-focused work to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Katie frames clients as the experts of their own lives and emphasizes strengths-based, collaborative care that builds practical skills and clearer understanding.

Her approach blends goal-focused techniques with emotion-centered exploration so clients can address immediate coping needs while tracing patterns that affect relationships and personal meaning. She also supports issues such as caregiver stress, communication difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, isolation, and life-purpose questions.

Practicing from Texas and licensed as NM LCSW C-12053 and TX LCSW 68727, Katie offers flexible session formats to fit different schedules and preferences. She aims to create a welcoming environment where taking the first step toward change is met with respect, practical tools, and steady professional support.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill practice, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and social anxiety by providing concrete tools for daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses mindfulness and values-based action to help people accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful steps forward, useful for managing avoidance, low motivation, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and how early bonds shape present relationships, helping those who struggle with intimacy, trust, or communication.

Katie approaches treatment collaboratively and recognizes that choosing the right method is part of the work itself. She partners with clients to clarify goals, try techniques, and adapt strategies over time so the therapeutic plan fits individual needs and preferences rather than imposing a single path.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, provide continuity across locations, and allow clients to use the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on symptoms, relationships, and life goals.
