Katie Shadrick, LPCC

Katie Shadrick is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with seven years of experience in the mental health field. The LPCC credential indicates formal training and state licensure to provide clinical counseling and psychotherapy. She has worked with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and challenges related to self-esteem and sleeping.

Katie emphasizes a collaborative, person-focused approach that begins by meeting individuals where they are and identifying practical steps to improve daily functioning. She draws on client-centered principles to build a supportive therapeutic relationship and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people recognize unhelpful patterns of thinking and develop more effective coping skills. When appropriate, she also incorporates motivational interviewing and trauma-focused methods to address readiness for change and responses to past harm.

Katie works with adults confronting life transitions, complex losses, chronic health concerns, and interpersonal difficulties, tailoring treatment to each person’s needs and goals. She offers flexible session formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Remote Care

Katie draws on several well-established therapeutic approaches that translate effectively to online formats. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership where the therapist listens, reflects, and supports the client’s own goals; this approach helps people clarify values, increase self-awareness, and build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based method that helps individuals identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday stressors because it emphasizes practical strategies and measurable progress.

Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change. It pairs well with other approaches when clients are weighing difficult decisions or trying to adopt new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from varied locations.
