About Kathryn
Kathryn (Katie) Pratt is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, life changes, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.
Katie centers her sessions on what each person brings to the room. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at helping someone manage symptoms and make clearer choices when relationships or work feel overwhelming.
Her practice draws on several evidence‑based techniques. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Motivational interviewing is used to move through stage‑of‑change challenges like addiction and recovery. Solution‑focused and person‑centered ideas help keep sessions goal‑oriented and collaborative.
Katie also weaves in mindfulness and narrative approaches. Mindfulness offers practical skills for calming stress and grounding during high emotion. Narrative work helps people reframe old stories about themselves and their relationships so different choices feel possible.
Sessions emphasize honest conversation, a steady therapeutic relationship, and a mix of practical skills and reflective work. Katie commonly addresses attachment concerns, codependency patterns, caregiver stress, and communication problems while supporting clients as they sort through commitment or family‑of‑origin issues.
How sessions work
How Katie uses evidence-based methods online
Katie draws on a few evidence‑based techniques that translate well to conversation over video or phone. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and patterns that feed codependency. Motivational interviewing centers on clarifying personal goals and strengthening motivation for change, which can be useful when someone is working on addiction or making major life shifts.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Katie will talk with the client about their goals, try out methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. The client’s preferences and what actually helps in early sessions guide which techniques continue to be used.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which formats are offered for scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel and can reduce the time needed to attend. They also let a person check in without needing to be on camera for the whole session when that feels helpful. Licensed professionals can arrange ways of working that fit daily life while focusing on practical skills and relational patterns.
