About Katherine
Katherine Flynn is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Minnesota with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. Her work also includes eating concerns, parenting strain, depression, and adjusting to life changes.
Katherine spent many years supporting people with substance-related problems before moving into long-term private practice. That background informs how she talks about addictive behavior and codependency. She also has experience assisting people facing grief and aging related concerns.
Her approach is rooted in client-centered work and individual psychology, which focuses on feelings, belonging, and self-perception. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to steady attention and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.
Katherine also draws on solution-focused methods to set small, practical goals and track progress between sessions. In conversations she looks for strengths people already have and ways to build on them rather than only pointing out problems.
Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Katherine aims to help people become more confident making choices, setting boundaries, and handling difficult emotions. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the fit feels.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on how a person feels and what matters most to them. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps a person name feelings and priorities to guide each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts that keep problems going and tests new, practical behaviors to change how someone responds to stress and anxiety.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Katherine will talk with a person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process lets the person try short experiments between sessions and bring back what worked or didn’t.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit a check-in around work, avoid travel, or use a shorter phone call when attention or bandwidth is limited. The focus remains on clear goals, practicing skills between meetings, and checking progress so sessions fit into everyday life.
