01About Katherine
Katherine Bonham uses a practical, client-centered style to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and life transitions. She holds an MS in counseling and the LPCC credential. Her approach focuses on teaching skills people can use day to day and making therapy understandable and relevant.
She has worked in mental health and addictions since 2010 and has been licensed since 2013. Her career has covered a wide range of settings across Minnesota, from Moorhead to Minneapolis.
Background and approach
That variety means she has helped people with many different problems and life stages. Katherine favors clear explanations and hands-on tools. She offers psychoeducation so people understand what happens in sessions and why certain techniques are chosen.
She emphasizes practicing skills outside of sessions so change can stick in everyday life. Her background includes research in trauma-informed care and a graduate certificate in addictions studies. She also has experience with depression, anxiety, stress management, and concerns that arise during life changes.
Katherine asks only for a willingness to try and honest communication in sessions. Clients can expect a down-to-earth style that balances empathy with concrete strategies. Outside work she stays active, spends time with family and her dog, and enjoys cooking and exploring green spaces in the Minneapolis-St.
Paul area. She is open to working with international clients via online formats.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their goals, so sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and move at their pace. This approach helps with stress, life changes, and relationship or parenting concerns by keeping the work practical and goal-oriented.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It teaches simple skills for anxiety, depression, and coping with change, with exercises that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed during online meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. DBT techniques like emotion regulation and distress tolerance can be taught in short exercises that fit into daily routines and remote check-ins.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and therapist work together to find what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for full conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or brief skill coaching. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy schedule.
