About Katie
Katie Shadrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and mood concerns. She works with clients coping with trauma, relationship strain, substance use concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Katie describes a straightforward, practical approach to therapy focused on learning new coping skills and understanding why problems keep happening.
Katie uses a client-centered attitude to build a working relationship. That means she listens first, then tailors tasks and tools to each person’s needs. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits that get in the way of better sleep, mood, or daily functioning.
Her background includes seven years in the mental health field and practice as an LPCC in Minnesota. That experience has included supporting people with depression, anxiety, personality concerns, trauma-related issues, and stress management. Katie aims to meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels doable.
Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings. Those skills might include routines and strategies for better rest, ways to reduce worry, and steps to manage strong feelings. Katie encourages small, steady changes that help people get closer to the life they want.
People who try therapy with Katie can expect a direct but compassionate style. She partners with clients to set goals, practice tools, and track progress over time.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's priorities first and guides the pace of work; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through stress, grief, or sleep problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, and offers concrete exercises for changing unhelpful patterns that affect mood and rest.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills practice, trauma-focused work, or reflective conversations.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and keep follow-up brief when that suits someone. It also makes it possible to practice sleep routines and relaxation strategies in a familiar daily setting. Talk with the therapist during intake about how to structure sessions to match your schedule and needs.
