About Katie
Katie Shadrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with seven years of experience as a practicing therapist. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, ADHD, and related struggles. Katie also lists work on blended family issues and family of origin concerns among her focus areas.
Katie uses straightforward, skill-based work in sessions. She starts by listening to what is happening now, then helps people learn coping strategies that fit their daily life. She draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful patterns and manage upsetting thoughts and feelings.
Her style mixes practical tools with conversational reflection. People can expect to talk through current problems, notice patterns that keep them stuck, and try small behavior changes between sessions. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox for people who want help with change and decision-making.
Katie has experience with trauma-focused work when trauma or past abuse are central concerns. That work looks at how past experiences affect present reactions and supports building skills to reduce distress. She also addresses issues like sleep problems, anger, body image, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions aim to help people get clearer about steps they can take and reduce daily strain. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching and scheduling flow so they can complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
How Katie combines approaches for online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the person's concerns, reflects what she hears, and helps clients identify priorities and values. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive, conversational space to sort out what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Katie uses CBT techniques to teach practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and unhelpful thinking patterns. These are exercises and small behavior changes that can be practiced between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katie works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She discusses options, tests strategies, and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful and realistic for the person.
Confirm the session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Talk with Katie through the matching questionnaire and scheduling flow to learn which session types she currently offers and how they might fit into everyday life.
