About Catherine
Catherine Kimrey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 18 years of experience. She practices in Minnesota and works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem, and depression.
She helps people talk through what’s happening now and figure out practical next steps. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change, and on building clearer thinking and manageable habits. Catherine uses client-centered methods that keep the person's own goals in view.
She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to try small behavior changes that make a real difference. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm strong feelings and increase awareness of impulses and responses. Trauma-focused methods and systemic thinking are brought in when past events or family patterns shape present difficulties.
Catherine commonly supports people dealing with codependency patterns, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and midlife concerns. She also addresses family of origin problems, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and transitions like divorce or aging-related stress.
Her approach is practical and direct. Conversations aim to sharpen awareness, build new skills, and reduce overwhelming feelings. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people set small, achievable goals they can test between sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive patterns like people-pleasing or staying in draining roles.Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client steer sessions toward what matters most to them. Mindfulness therapy adds simple practices to ease intense emotions and improve attention to the present.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out methods, and adjust what they do together based on what helps. Sessions can blend these approaches as needed rather than sticking to one method only.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work fits around daily life by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or avoiding the need to be on camera for an entire session. The focus in any format is the same - practical strategies, clearer thinking, and steps the person can try between meetings.
