About Katherine
Katherine Flynn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Minnesota. She brings 25 years of experience supporting people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and changes in relationships. Katherine uses straightforward conversation to help people feel more confident and steady in daily life.
She draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people identify what they want to change. Sessions often involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing small behavior changes, and choosing steps that feel realistic.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are used when helpful to reduce worry and ground attention in the present. Katherine’s background includes long experience in substance-abuse programs and many years in independent practice. That history shapes a practical focus on recovery from addictive patterns and on rebuilding self-esteem after loss or conflict.
She also brings experience supporting people through caregiving strain, blended family issues, and aging-related concerns. In sessions she aims to make things simple and doable. Conversations tend to focus on clear goals, quick problem-solving, and building strengths people can use right away.
Katherine encourages small experiments between sessions so progress is practical and measurable. Her style is warm and direct. She partners with people to clarify what matters most, practice new habits, and move toward clearer choices.
Appointments are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people name what matters, building confidence and self-direction. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce worry and improve mood. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful life events.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they choose techniques and try them out, adjusting as needed so the work fits the person’s life and pace.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit a busy schedule. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, problem-solving, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy regular and to fit care into work, school, or caregiving routines.
