Katie Shadrick , LPCC

Katie Shadrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with seven years of experience in the mental health field. As an LPCC she holds state licensure to provide clinical counseling services, and she draws on that training to support people facing a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, addictions, ADHD, and mood disorders.

Katie approaches therapy from a collaborative, client-centered perspective, meeting people where they are and helping them build practical coping skills. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new strategies for managing symptoms, and she uses trauma-informed methods when working with people affected by past harm. She also incorporates motivational interviewing when clients are navigating change related to substance use or other behaviors.

Katie emphasizes developing a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and works with clients to set realistic goals and practice skills that fit their daily lives. She aims to help people understand why they have been struggling and to move forward with greater resilience and clarity. She is not accepting new clients at this time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and reflection. This approach helps people explore feelings, values, and personal goals and is useful when someone needs validation and a clearer sense of direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused method that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more constructive ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and sleep concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to address the lingering effects of past traumatic events, helping people process difficult memories and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie works with each person to weigh options based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so the plan fits the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can access licensed professionals in formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to practice skills between sessions.
