Katie Shadrick, LPCC

Katie Shadrick is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with seven years of experience in mental health work. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports concerns such as addictions, relationship strain, sleeping problems, anger, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Katie uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens to where someone is starting from and helps them build new coping skills. That can mean using client-centered conversation to clarify goals, then trying cognitive behavioral techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.

Her background includes work across different mental health settings before and after licensure, supporting people with mood disorders, personality concerns, substance use, and trauma-related problems. She brings experience working with issues connected to family of origin, blended family challenges, abandonment, and communication problems.

In the room she focuses on clear steps clients can try between sessions. That might look like setting small behavior goals, practicing new ways to respond to stress, or learning breathing and sleep routines. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people consider change when they feel stuck.

Katie’s approach is practical and conversational. She talks through what matters most now and helps people take manageable steps. Her work aims to reduce everyday burden and help people feel more able to handle difficult situations.
