Katie Shadrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and related concerns. She works with clients dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and relationship or family challenges. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on learning better coping skills and understanding why problems keep happening.

She uses a client-centered stance to build trust and collaboration in the room. Katie combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox for people who want help making changes in substance use or other habits.

Her background includes seven years of clinical experience and a professional license in Minnesota as an LPCC. She has worked across several mental health settings and with a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, personality issues, and trauma-related problems. Katie explains things plainly and focuses on small, practical steps that add up.

Sessions emphasize real-world skills for managing emotions, communication, and daily stress. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together. Clients can expect a straightforward style aimed at reducing distress and increasing options for how to handle hard moments.

Katie invites people to explore what matters most to them, practice new ways of coping, and build on strengths they already have. Her work is intended to help clients move toward the life they want one step at a time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people clarify their goals and values. It is useful for stress, grief, relationship worries, and anger when someone needs a steady, empathic listener.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice skills between sessions. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is something to figure out together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match current needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new issues come up.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit isn't feasible. It can also be helpful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed. Ask about specific session formats when scheduling to match therapy to your day-to-day routine.
