About Katie
Katie Shadrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. Katie also supports people facing relationship strain, sleep problems, addiction issues, and struggles with self-esteem and mood regulation.
She uses a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. Katie listens to what is happening now, then helps people learn coping skills that fit their life. She combines a client-centered stance with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
Katie also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are causing current distress. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, skill practice, and gradual changes that reduce day-to-day distress.
Her background includes work across multiple mental health settings before and after licensure. That experience informs how she helps people manage complex problems such as mood disorders, substance concerns, and trauma-related symptoms. Katie uses practical exercises and conversational problem solving rather than long theory talks.
People who come to her can expect direct feedback, short skills practice, and check-ins on progress. She asks clients to try specific tools between sessions and then adjusts plans based on what helps. The emphasis is on making steady, usable changes in how someone copes with anger, stress, and other recurring problems.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs space to clarify feelings and priorities and to set practical goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together. It uses short exercises and real-life practice to reduce unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep anger or anxiety active.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is uncertain about change. It uses focused conversations to build motivation and set small, achievable steps toward new behaviors.
Picking an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods to try first based on their concerns, goals, and what feels manageable. Plans can shift over time as skills are tried and feedback is gathered.
Confirm the session formats offered with Katie before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break or a phone call when bandwidth is limited. These practical options can help people practice skills consistently and apply them between meetings.
