About Katie

Katie Shadrick is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, self-esteem, addictions, and a wide range of related concerns.

Background and approach

She brings seven years of experience in the mental health field and uses practical strategies to help clients gain clearer understanding of their patterns and develop more effective coping skills. Her background includes supporting clients through mood and personality disorders, relationship and family challenges, chronic illness and pain, and issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Her style centers on meeting clients where they are and building a collaborative therapeutic relationship. Katie blends client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral tools to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practice alternatives that support day-to-day functioning.

She also draws on trauma-focused approaches and motivational interviewing when addressing trauma histories, substance use concerns, or motivation for change. Katie emphasizes that progress can come from learning skills and insight, and she works with each person to set realistic goals and steps toward the life they want.

How Katie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to each person's goals; it helps people feel heard and supports exploration of values, motivation, and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing practical skills to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or relationship difficulties. Trauma-focused therapy provides structured ways to address trauma-related symptoms and reduce their impact on daily life by working at a pace that respects the client’s experience.

Katie treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She partners with clients to discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting methods over time so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model. This shared decision-making helps shape a plan that aligns with each client’s needs and readiness for change.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, letting people engage in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without geographic travel, and they allow for varied styles of interaction - real-time conversation by video or phone, or shorter check-ins via chat and messaging to reinforce skills between sessions.
