About Katherine
Katherine Flynn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Minnesota with 25 years of experience in mental health. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, anger, relationship and family issues, and self-esteem. Katherine also supports people facing intimacy-related problems, parenting challenges, eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
She began in substance-abuse programs and moved into private practice two decades ago. That early work shaped how she handles addiction-related struggles alongside co-occurring anxiety or depression. She has also helped people navigate divorce, betrayal, and the strong emotions that follow those events.
Katherine describes her counseling style as rooted in individual psychology, a cognitive-social approach. She focuses on feelings of anxiety and inferiority to look at how people experience belonging. Sessions are aimed at helping people notice their strengths and build greater confidence in everyday life.
In practical terms she uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods. That mix is used to address thinking patterns, manage strong emotions like anger, and develop clearer communication skills. Katherine tends to use straightforward conversation and exercises people can try between sessions.
Her background includes long-term work with adults dealing with addiction and many years supporting clients through grief and aging concerns. People who prefer direct, plain-spoken guidance about their stress, resentment, or relationship difficulties may find her approach fits well.
How Katherine uses CBT, mindfulness and client-centered work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs clearer self-understanding and confidence in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behavior. It helps with anxiety, anger, and repetitive negative thoughts by teaching practical skills to change responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and notice emotions before they escalate.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Katherine will work with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
