Dr. Kylie Rogalla, LPC

Dr. Kylie Rogalla is a counselor and counselor educator with 14 years of hands-on experience in clinical and educational settings. She earned a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision, a master’s degree in School and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Coaching. She also holds professional credentials including Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - a state credential for practicing counseling, Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC) - credentialing for work with substance use concerns, National Certified Counselor (NCC) - a national counseling certification, and Board Certified-Telemental Health (BC-TMH) - a certification for providing therapy via remote modalities.

Her early work included serving youth across alternative high schools, private elementary schools, and programs for young people with diverse special needs. Much of her clinical practice has focused on supporting women, children, and families who are in crisis or recovering from trauma. That work included six years in emergency non-profit shelters assisting clients facing intimate partner violence and co-occurring substance use challenges.

In addition to direct clinical work, she is a professor in a master’s-level counseling program where she teaches and supervises counselors-in-training, contributes to research, and presents at local, state, and national conferences. Her teaching and scholarship inform her clinical practice and vice versa.

Her therapeutic approach intentionally blends theoretical models to match each client’s needs, with an emphasis on cultivating deeper self-awareness as a foundation for sustained change. She aims to help clients identify blind spots, examine irrational beliefs and cognitive distortions, and explore attachment patterns and existential concerns. She frames trauma responses as adaptive defenses rather than signs that someone is broken, and she works to create understanding and validation so that defenses which no longer serve a person can begin to loosen their hold.
