   About Katie

   Katie Shadrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and LGBTQ concerns. She aims to meet clients where they are and work toward practical change.

   She brings seven years of mental health experience to therapy and has spent the last portion of that time providing licensed counseling. Katie uses a client-centered stance so people feel heard and respected during sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors that can make daily life easier.

   Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want support making a change. That method helps clarify a person’s own reasons for change and builds small, realistic steps forward. Trauma-focused ideas are used when past events are getting in the way of current functioning.

   Sessions focus on teaching coping skills, improving communication, and reducing symptoms that interfere with work, family, and daily routines. Katie pays attention to family of origin and relationship patterns when those issues matter to the presenting concern. She also supports work on body image, chronic illness or pain, grief after loss, and recovery from sexual assault or abuse.

   People who choose Katie can expect straightforward goals, collaborative planning, and practical tools to use between sessions. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

2. How Katie's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

   Katie uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to set small, practical steps toward those goals. This approach is useful for issues like addictions, motivation to try new coping strategies, and readiness to change behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy is another core part of her work. That means sessions begin with listening and understanding so clients feel seen. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify patterns of thought that lead to distress and to practice different behaviors that reduce symptoms. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Katie will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques as progress is made. The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Some people prefer shorter check-ins while others use full sessions for skills practice and deeper work. Discussing practical needs early in therapy helps set a rhythm that fits everyday routines.
