Katherine (Katie) Ssejjemba

Katherine (Katie) Ssejjemba is a licensed clinical social worker who brings seven years of practice to her work. She trained at East Tennessee State University and holds LCSW credentials in New Mexico and Texas. Katie balances her professional life with family time and a household full of dogs, and she often works from home with a Boston Terrier nearby.

Katie focuses on straightforward, practical help for common struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, and anger. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting stress, self-esteem and motivation, and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own life while offering tools to manage painful feelings and difficult moments.

In sessions she draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. She also uses attachment-based thinking and emotionally-focused work when relationships and connection are central to the issue. Katie aims to match the method to the person rather than applying one fixed style.

Expect a calm, respectful space where the therapist listens first and then offers clear strategies and small experiments to try between meetings. Conversations are practical and paced to what a person can handle right now.

Therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling steps. Katie notes that the subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is done according to her availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most and teaches small steps to act in line with those values, which can help with stress, anxiety, and motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and real-life experiments to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and anger management.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection and trust. It can be helpful when relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, or attachment issues are part of the difficulty.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will choose or combine methods and adjust as progress unfolds.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. The focus is on practical work that fits into everyday routines and helps people try new skills between meetings.
