About Katherine
Katherine (Katie) Ssejjemba is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience. She is licensed in Texas and New Mexico and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, and self-esteem concerns. Katie uses clear, practical methods to help clients address everyday problems and emotional pain.
Katie prefers to keep sessions straightforward. She listens to each person’s story and helps them notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to try concrete skills in session and as homework. Conversations focus on changing unhelpful thinking, building small routines, and practicing new ways of responding.
She also brings Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas into the work when relationship patterns or intimacy issues are important. That means looking at how past connections shape current reactions, and practicing different ways of communicating feelings. This can be useful for people facing relationship strain, grief, isolation, or caregiver stress.
Katie aims to help clients identify clear goals and test what works. Sessions often include skill practice, small behavioral experiments, and reflection on progress. She encourages people to try manageable steps between appointments.
Outside of work she spends time with family and her dogs, which she says keeps her grounded. Prospective clients should follow the site steps to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Katie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thinking, feeling, and acting, and it is useful for anxiety, stress, and social fears. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and clarify what matters so they can take small committed actions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and focuses on changing interaction styles and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katie collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals, concerns, and preferences. She often combines techniques and adjusts them as progress is observed, so the plan can change over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use a mix of structured skill practice and conversational check-ins to help clients apply what they learn in everyday life.
