About Katherine
Katherine Flynn is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Minnesota with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues related to aging, caregiver stress, blended families, codependency, communication problems, control issues, dependent personality traits, intimacy-related concerns, and eating-related matters.
Katherine draws on clear, practical approaches that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps a person can try between meetings and ways to notice and test thinking patterns.
Her background includes many years working in substance-abuse programs and long experience in private practice. That history shapes how she responds to addiction, codependency, and the emotions that follow separation or betrayal. She has also supported people through grief and the challenges that come with aging and caregiving.
Katherine describes her style as rooted in individual psychology and cognitive-social perspectives. She pays attention to how feelings of anxiety or inferiority affect a person’s sense of belonging. The work emphasizes recognizing strengths and building confidence through gradual practice.
People who choose her often want straightforward strategies, clear goals, and practical tools to change thinking and behavior. To begin, she asks about current concerns, what has been tried so far, and what changes matter most to the client.
How Katherine uses structured approaches in online sessions
Many people who start work with Katherine want clear steps they can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps by breaking problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and testing small behavior changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and making room for a client's perspective while deciding which steps to take next.She treats the choice of method as collaborative. Together they review what’s been helpful so far, set concrete goals, and adjust tools if something isn’t working. The therapist and client pick approaches based on the client’s current needs and practical goals rather than using a single fixed method.
