About Kathryn
Kathryn Fortune-Gallagher is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico with 32 years of experience. She has worked in education and clinical therapy and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, and related challenges.
She has long experience supporting people who struggle with self-esteem, codependency, and communication problems. Her background includes work with individuals who have intellectual disability and learning challenges. She also offers Christian counseling alongside other clinical work.
Kathryn uses solution-focused methods as a core part of her practice. That approach looks at current problems and practical steps that can help people move forward. She also draws on trauma-focused strategies and cognitive behavioral techniques when those methods are helpful.
Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, short-term strategies, and building skills people can use between meetings. Conversations cover everyday pressures - family, money, work, and health - and practical ways to handle them. Kathryn aims to be steady and nonjudgmental while helping people find more manageable patterns of behavior.
Her practice accepts English-speaking clients and does not take international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Online options and evidence-based approaches
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, practical steps that move a person toward clear goals. It is goal-oriented and often focuses on what will be different once a problem is improved. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learn skills to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events and teaching coping skills for trauma-related symptoms.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. Kathryn will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is practical and focused on what helps day-to-day functioning.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use video or phone options so therapy can be scheduled around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities. Discuss format preferences when arranging the first session to find an approach that suits daily life.
