About Katherine

Katherine (Katie) Ssejjemba is a licensed clinical social worker who brings seven years of field experience to her practice. She earned her degree from East Tennessee State University and holds LCSW credentials in New Mexico and Texas. Katie blends practical support with a warm, down-to-earth presence to help people tackle common life stresses.

Katie focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and building self-esteem and confidence. She also helps people cope with life changes, grief, anger, and relationship-related struggles. Her additional areas include attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, and overcoming guilt and shame.

In sessions she treats clients as the experts of their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Katie uses clear, straightforward methods that people can try between meetings. She aims to keep conversations real and useful, not full of jargon.

Katie draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She helps clients set practical goals and practice small changes that add up over time.

Outside of work she enjoys time with family and her dogs, including a Boston Terrier who often keeps her company while she works from home. That personal side informs a gentle, encouraging therapy style focused on steady progress.

How Katie’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values and then take actions that match what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and making changes during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to reduce worry and unhelpful behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships and can be helpful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their situation. Together they decide which tools to use and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Katie’s profiles note she works from Texas and uses online practice methods, but current session options should be checked when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or phone options depending on what works best for a given day.
