About Katie

Katie Shadrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also works with those coping with grief, relationship challenges, addictions, body image concerns, and other emotional struggles. Katie uses a straightforward, practical style that focuses on what a person needs right now.

She centers sessions on the person in front of her and builds a trusting connection to guide the work. Katie draws on client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each individual. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice small behavior changes that can improve daily life.

Her work includes attention to trauma-related concerns and post-traumatic stress, so she integrates trauma-focused methods when people need them. Katie uses motivational interviewing to support people who are making changes around substance use, health behavior, or other habits. The overall aim is to help people learn new coping skills and move toward goals they value.

With seven years of experience in the mental health field and an LPCC credential, Katie pairs practical tools with an approachable manner. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with strategies tailored to each person's situation. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

People who choose Katie can expect clear communication, an emphasis on usable skills, and steady support while they work through challenges like mood disorders, trauma, grief, ADHD, and stress.

How Katie Uses Practical Therapies Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and sets the stage for deciding what to work on together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean blending client-centered listening with CBT exercises or adding trauma-focused strategies when past harm is part of the picture.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or evenings. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based options when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Licensed professionals aim to match the method and scheduling to what will help a person make steady progress.
