About Katherine

Katherine Bonham is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on practical, skill-based therapy. She draws on strategies that help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and addiction. Katherine emphasizes clear explanations so clients know what to expect in sessions.

She earned a Master of Science in counseling with a graduate certificate in addictions studies in 2013. Katherine has practiced in Minnesota since then and has worked across a wide range of settings and ages.

Background and approach

Her background includes early work on trauma-informed group therapy and many years supporting people through depression, life transitions, and coping with illness. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Katherine teaches skills to use between sessions and offers psychoeducation so people understand the purpose of interventions.

She asks for honesty and a willingness to try new strategies as the basis for progress. Katherine blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are used to reduce overwhelming feelings, improve communication, and change unhelpful patterns.

Sessions often include concrete exercises, practice plans, and short-term goals. Outside of work she keeps an active routine, values time with family and her dog, and enjoys cooking and exploring parks in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Katherine describes lasting change as a series of small, repeatable steps and invites people to work steadily toward their goals.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them clarify goals and values, which is useful for stress, life changes, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and acting, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can help when feelings feel overwhelming or communication keeps getting in the way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation guides the plan and can change as needs evolve.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people meet face to face for skills practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging support quick check-ins or shorter touchpoints, and these options help people maintain consistency and flexibility in care.
