About Kathryn
Kathryn "Katie" Pratt is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 14 years of experience. She centers her work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems, and parenting challenges. Katie believes that each person knows their story best and that therapy is a place to build on existing strengths.
She aims to offer straightforward support and encouragement for people ready to make changes. In sessions Katie focuses on building a trusting relationship and practical problem-solving.
Background and approach
She uses evidence-based methods to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works. Expect conversations that mix clear strategies with moments of reflection and, when it fits, a bit of humor. Katie often helps people facing life transitions, grief, compassion fatigue, and challenges with self-esteem or intimacy.
She also works with those managing ADHD symptoms, substance use concerns, or issues connected to family of origin and attachment. Parents looking for guidance around parenting or family stress will find direct, actionable suggestions to try between sessions. Her style blends motivational conversation with solution-focused steps and cognitive approaches to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used when helpful to slow down and reframe difficult experiences. Katie describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work. Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Katie works in English and practices with attention to practical results, helping people fit change into their everyday lives.

How Katie’s Approaches Work Online
Katie uses several evidence-based techniques in ways that translate well to online care. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts, then trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and parenting-related stress by offering concrete steps to try between sessions.Motivational and solution-focused methods are another common element. These approaches concentrate on a person’s values and goals, breaking bigger problems into manageable next steps. They are useful when someone is facing change, recovery from substance use, or needing direction in a difficult transition.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working. That process may shift as progress is made or new challenges arise.
Online formats offer practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit a short break or use less bandwidth; live chat and text-based messaging are suited to quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
