Kathryn ("Katie") Pratt is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with 14 years of experience. She centers her work on helping people move through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and major life changes. Katie emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based relationship where clients are treated as the experts on their own lives.

Clients can expect a direct and encouraging style. Katie aims to build rapport quickly and uses practical tools people can try between sessions. She brings hope, honesty, and occasionally humor into sessions while focusing on clear steps forward.

In therapy she combines several evidence-based techniques to match a person’s needs. Katie draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful patterns, and from solution-focused and motivational strategies to set small, achievable goals. Mindfulness and narrative approaches are woven in to help with emotion regulation and reauthoring difficult experiences.

Her practice supports people working through grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and self-esteem issues, parenting stress, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and challenges common to young adults. She also addresses issues related to addiction, ADHD, and attachment or family-of-origin concerns.

Katie lists women’s issues among her focus areas and helps people explore topics that commonly affect women’s lives. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Katie Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Therapy with Katie draws on clear, evidence-based techniques that are easy to explain. Cognitive behavioral ideas focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. Solution-focused and motivational approaches concentrate on setting small goals and building momentum, which is useful for addiction recovery, motivation, and making life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Katie works with each person to figure out what methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, checking in about what works and adjusting the plan together.
