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 settings and helps people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, and codependency. Kathryn also provides Christian counseling and supports parents and caregivers facing parenting and caregiver stress.
She uses a solution-focused approach alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused work. Sessions aim to identify specific goals and practical steps. Conversations are direct and problem-oriented, with attention to how family patterns and upbringing affect current choices and relationships.
Kathryn has experience supporting people with learning differences and intellectual disability, and she works with concerns that include addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, anger, and life changes. She also addresses blended family issues, divorce and separation, and money or career stress. The profile notes family of origin issues as an area of focus.
Her practice blends short-term goal work with interventions for longer-term concerns. She offers coaching-style support when helpful and will use techniques from CBT to shift thinking and behavior. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect daily life.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. For specifics about session formats and scheduling, prospective clients should confirm options when booking and complete the initial matching questionnaire to set up a first appointment.
How Kathryn’s approaches translate to online work
Kathryn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new, more useful ways of thinking and behaving, which can be practiced between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps toward specific goals and is useful when people want clear, short-term progress.Trauma-focused methods are used when past events keep affecting daily life, aiming to reduce their impact through targeted interventions. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative; Kathryn will work with each person to decide what fits their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to therapy.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy schedule and flexibility around travel or work commitments. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the exact online options when booking. Many people find that online sessions make it simpler to maintain regular check-ins, complete CBT homework, or have a shorter check-in when time is limited.
