About Katie
Katie Shadrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She draws on several years of clinical experience to offer practical, down-to-earth support for everyday struggles. Katie talks plainly about what’s going on and focuses on small steps people can use right away.
She uses a client-centered approach to build a working connection. That means she listens first and adapts to each person’s pace and needs.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that can reduce distress. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit for people who want to change habits or address substance use. Trauma-focused methods are available for those dealing with past abuse or post-traumatic stress.
Sessions aim to mix practical skill-building with space to make sense of difficult experiences. Katie has seven years of experience in the mental health field and holds an LPCC credential in Minnesota. She works with a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, addiction, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, relationship and family-related concerns, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include chronic illness, body image, and sexual assault and abuse. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their routine.
Online approaches that help with anxiety and trauma
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person first. The therapist listens deeply and works at the client's pace to build trust and hope. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to talk and make sense of feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood changes.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to act. It is often used when habits or substance use are part of the concern, and it pairs well with skill-based work.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Katie will help you choose methods based on your goals and the issues you bring. She collaborates with clients to adjust strategies as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you use visual cues during deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to work in shorter bursts. These options provide flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent with their routines and responsibilities.
