About Katie
Katie Shadrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, ADHD, and relationship or family-related problems. Katie uses straightforward conversations to learn what is most pressing for each person.
She focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. Clients can expect calm listening and step-by-step strategies for managing mood, sleep, anger, or overwhelming feelings.
How Katie works
Her background includes seven years working in mental health roles, with several years providing therapy since earning licensure. That experience includes supporting people with mood disorders, personality and substance use concerns, post-traumatic stress, and grief after loss. Sessions often combine client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing.
Trauma-focused therapy is also part of her approach when trauma is central to the problem. These methods are used to identify patterns, build coping skills, and set realistic goals. Katie aims to meet people where they are and build a therapeutic relationship based on respect and collaboration.
She helps clients practice new skills, break down barriers to change, and make gradual progress toward the life they want. People who prefer flexible session formats can schedule video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. All work is conducted in English and with Minnesota licensure.

How Katie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room. It starts with listening and building trust so people feel understood before working on change. This approach helps when someone needs emotional support and a nonjudgmental space to sort out problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. CBT is useful for clear, goal-focused work such as improving mood or breaking unhelpful habits.
Katie treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, trauma-focused work, motivational techniques, or a mix of methods.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for a full conversation and visual connection. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for working therapy into a busy life.
