About Katherine
Katherine Bonham is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with 13 years of experience in mental health and addictions. She brings practical, down-to-earth care and asks only for honesty and a willingness to try. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and substance concerns while navigating life changes.
Katherine earned a BA in psychology and an MS in counseling with a graduate certificate in addictions studies in 2013. Early work researching trauma-informed care led her to pursue further training in trauma and addictions. She also holds credentials as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and has worked across a wide range of settings in Minnesota.
She uses straightforward skill teaching and clear explanations so people know what to expect and why techniques are suggested. Treatment draws on Client-Centered methods and cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior strategies are used when managing intense emotions and building tolerance for distress.
Katherine has worked with people across the lifespan and with many diagnoses. She emphasizes practical steps clients can practice between sessions and offers psychoeducation so goals stay understandable and achievable. Her approach blends direct skill-building with collaborative problem solving.
Outside of work she values regular exercise, time with friends and family, and activities with her dog. She enjoys cooking and exploring green spaces around Minneapolis-St. Paul. Katherine invites people who are ready to try something different to consider working together.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel understood and guides the pace of therapy to match their needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation or behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It pairs practical exercises with attention to acceptance and change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will work with each person to learn their goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as needed. The first sessions are used to figure out which tools fit best for a person's situation.
Because the therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help people use written worksheets or guided exercises between meetings, and allow work on skills without extra travel time. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to suit daily routines so therapy feels practical and doable.
