About Katherine
Katherine Bonham is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She brings 13 years of mental health and addictions experience to sessions and focuses on practical skills people can use each day. Katherine emphasizes clear explanations so clients understand what she is doing and why it matters for them.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Master of Science in counseling, earned in 2013, with a graduate certificate in addictions studies.
Background and approach
Her early work included research on trauma-informed care in group therapy, and that shaped her ongoing interest in trauma-related concerns. Katherine also has experience as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and has worked with a wide range of concerns across clinical settings. Katherine uses straightforward teaching and psychoeducation to help people build coping skills.
She values honesty and asks clients to be willing to try new approaches in sessions. Her practice emphasizes skills that can be practiced between appointments to support progress over time. Clients can expect sessions that balance active learning with compassion.
Katherine draws from therapies that focus on thought patterns, emotional regulation, and mindful awareness. She also uses motivational techniques to support behavior change when people are ready to make different choices. Outside of work she stays active, enjoys time with family and her dog, and explores outdoor green spaces around the Minneapolis-St.
Paul area. She often frames change as a matter of small, repeatable actions applied over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring conversations to what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel understood and guides the direction of work online and in sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms and works well through video sessions and phone check-ins.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It uses skills practice and behavior change strategies that can be reviewed during video sessions or reinforced via text-based messaging between meetings.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier access. Video calls let you work face-to-face from different locations, phone sessions can fit into a work break, and live chat or text can support brief check-ins or skills practice. These options make it simpler to stay consistent with appointments and to apply new skills in daily life.
