01About Kathryn
Kathryn ("Katie") Pratt is a Minnesota-based licensed professional clinical counselor, LPCC, with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Katie emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach that centers the person's strengths and goals.
She believes the client knows their story best and uses that knowledge to guide change. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on small, doable steps.
Background and approach
Katie brings warmth and straightforward feedback to conversations about grief, self-esteem, career questions, or parenting strain. Her background includes work with people coping with trauma, substance use, and attachment or family-of-origin difficulties. She integrates techniques that help with coping skills, problem solving, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness and narrative work also appear in her sessions to help people reconnect with values and rebuild daily routines. Katie tends to build trust quickly and aims to create a calm, focused space for talking through intense feelings. She balances encouragement with clear strategies for behavior change and relapse prevention when addiction is present.
People coming for support with intimacy, commitment, or communication often leave with clearer steps to try between sessions. Her practice supports LGBT clients, young adults, caregivers facing fatigue, and women navigating major life changes. Katie frames therapy as a partnership that uses hope, honesty, and sometimes humor to move toward more manageable days.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Katie draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. Cognitive behavioral approaches look at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and offer straightforward tools for shifting unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify values and build internal motivation for change, useful for people facing substance use or commitment challenges. Mindfulness practices are used to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which supports emotional regulation and coping with difficult memories.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Katie works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in over the first few sessions to see what helps and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls work well for in-depth talk and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it simpler to get regular help without rearranging an entire day.
