Katie is fantastic. Thoughtful, supportive, and helps me think through things from a different perspective to make sure I’m not making completely emotional decisions. I feel like she understands me really well and then can guide me to what I need.

Hi, My name is S. Katie Roghaar (She, Her, Hers), and I have been working in the medical/mental health field for the last 12 years. I have been working specifically with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health issues for the last 6 years, and this is how I fell in love with the social work field. I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual assault as a trained sexual assault advocate. I have one undergraduate degree in Neuroscience from the University of Nevada, Reno, and another undergraduate degree from the University of Utah in human development and family studies. I received my master's in social work in 2019, then have been working in mental health crisis, substance use disorders, and many other mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I specialized in a trauma informed therapeutic model called Feminist Multicultural therapy (FMT) in my master's program, and that is the model I like to base my therapeutic style on because it provides me the freedom to provide client-centered therapy and utilize skills from Acceptance and Commitment therapy(ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and many different mindfulness techniques. I have helped many clients with relationship issues, sexual assault trauma, domestic violence trauma, self-esteem empowerment, substance use issues, suicidality, codependency, women's issues, and many other issues that have come up on my clients healing journey. I have worked with medical professionals, students, young adults, first responders, many female-identifying individuals, and the LGBTQ+ community.
I love to see the growth and healing that my clients experience, and am very privileged to be a compassionate witness to their journey. I am so proud of you for taking the next steps in your healing journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
