About Katherine
Katherine Bonham, LPCC, uses straightforward, practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and major life changes. She keeps conversations direct and focused so families and individuals can move forward. Her approach emphasizes teaching skills people can use between sessions.
Katherine earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Master of Science in counseling with a graduate certificate in addictions studies in 2013. She has been licensed as a professional clinical counselor since 2013 and has worked in mental health and addictions since 2010.
Background and approach
Her career has included work across Minnesota in a variety of settings, from research and group therapy to clinical practice. She brings 13 years of field experience to everyday problems like depression, relationship strain, career stress, and coping with illness.
Katherine focuses on helping people understand what she is doing in sessions, why it may help, and how to use those strategies in daily life. That emphasis on clear explanation supports steady progress. Katherine places particular attention on trauma and addiction-related concerns, and she incorporates skill-building so people leave sessions with tools they can practice.
She values honesty and a willingness to try new approaches as the foundation of productive work together. Outside of work she stays active, spends time with friends and her dog, and enjoys exploring local green spaces. She likes practical metaphors from fitness and daily life to help clients imagine steady, sustainable change.
Approach-driven online therapy that teaches practical skills
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client’s experience first, letting conversations follow what matters most to the person and building on their strengths to handle stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and phobia-related avoidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication when feelings become overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She explains options, tries techniques together, and adjusts the plan based on what helps in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports shorter moments of reflection throughout the week. These options aim to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
