About Kathryn
Kathryn "Katie" Pratt is a licensed professional clinical counselor who brings 14 years of experience to her work in Minnesota. Katie centers each session on the person in front of her, helping them name what matters and take practical steps forward. She emphasizes a warm, straightforward style that aims to make hard conversations easier to start.
Clients often come for stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or help with addictions and recovery.
Background and approach
Katie also supports people facing relationship troubles, parenting strain, grief, and major life changes. She frames struggles as problems to be understood and addressed, not as fixed identities. In session she uses short-term, goal-focused methods alongside reflective conversation.
That mix allows quick gains while also digging into patterns that keep problems coming back. She weaves in mindfulness and narrative work to help people shift how they tell their story. Katie pays close attention to strengths and motivation.
She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people find momentum and small, manageable steps. Humor and realism are part of her approach when they fit the moment. People who value clear goals, practical strategies, and honest support tend to fit well with her style.
She works with individuals facing issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, self-esteem concerns, or career stress. Sessions aim to leave people with tools they can use between meetings.

Approaches that translate to online care
Motivational interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and helps build momentum by clarifying goals and values. It works well for habits, addictions, and any situation where making a change feels overwhelming.Solution-focused work centers on practical next steps and small experiments. Sessions look for what is already working and build on those strengths to create quick, achievable shifts for stress, anger, or relationship trouble.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those needs, and adjust over time. The plan evolves based on what feels helpful and what produces progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls make it possible to have near face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is all that’s needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, timely contact and ongoing problem-solving between longer sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and recovery schedules.
