About Kathryn
Kathryn Lockie is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Kathryn also focuses on issues like attachment, communication struggles, control concerns, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She frames therapy as a practical process. Kathryn listens first, then helps people identify the strengths and resources they already have. Sessions look at what is working now and what might be added to make daily life feel more manageable.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. She asks questions and reflects what she hears so people can better understand their patterns and choices. That clarity often helps with decisions about relationships, work, and self-expectations.
In sessions she talks through current problems, how they affect mood and behavior, and small steps a person can try between meetings. She supports people who carry guilt or shame by helping them name those feelings and see how they show up in everyday life. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication are frequent topics.
Kathryn works in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process begins with what the person wants to get from therapy and builds from there.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Evidence-based techniques commonly used in work with stress and mood problems include cognitive approaches and behavioral strategies. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them against facts, and try different ways of thinking. This can be useful when guilt or shame is driven by harsh self-judgments.Behavioral strategies focus on small, practical actions. That can mean setting gentle activity goals, practicing brief relaxation or grounding exercises, or trying new communication habits. These approaches help when low mood or anxiety make daily tasks feel harder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
