Katherine (Katie) Ssejjemba, LCSW

Katherine (Katie) Ssejjemba is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico and Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and motivation. Katie writes plainly and works in a practical way with people who need help managing everyday pressures.

Katie describes herself as someone who believes clients know their own stories and strengths. In sessions she listens for what is getting in the way and helps people try different ways of responding. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment methods, and attachment-focused ideas to help people practice new skills.

Her style tends to be straightforward and skills-oriented. She helps clients break down big problems into small steps they can try between sessions. That may include behavioral experiments, brief mindfulness exercises, and communication practice to improve relationships and reduce worry.

Katie also addresses grief, issues around intimacy, anger, and caregiver stress. She works with people who feel isolated, overwhelmed by life changes, or stuck in guilt and shame. Topics often include improving self-love, clarifying life purpose, and reducing social anxiety.

Outside of work she spends time with family and dogs, which she says keeps her grounded. If someone wants a practical clinician who values real-life solutions, Katie focuses on clear next steps and steady progress rather than jargon or long lectures.
