About Katherine Bonham

Katherine Bonham is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota who has worked in mental health and addictions since 2010 and has been licensed since 2013. She holds a BA in psychology and earned an MS in counseling with a graduate certificate in addictions studies in 2013. Her early work included research on trauma-informed care within group therapy settings, and she has continued to pursue training that informs her practice as a trauma specialist.

Katherine is also a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and brings extensive experience addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, life stage transitions, and addictive behaviors. Over her career she has supported clients ranging from age 5 to 97 across settings from Moorhead to Minneapolis, working with a wide range of diagnoses and life circumstances. She places a strong emphasis on teaching practical skills clients can use daily and on providing clear psychoeducation so individuals understand what is being done, why it matters, and how it will help them.

Her approach is collaborative and skill-focused, and she asks only for a willingness to try and honest engagement in the process. Outside of her clinical work she models self-care through regular exercise, time with friends and family, outings with her dog, trying new recipes, and exploring the green spaces of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. A former weightlifting coach told her, "If you can do it for a minute, you can do it for a lifetime," and that philosophy underpins her belief in gradual, sustainable change. If welcomed, she will partner with clients on the journeys they choose to take.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Katherine Bonham

Katherine uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client's goals and values guide the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration and can be especially helpful for people facing life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions about identity. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. When emotion regulation and interpersonal skills are central, she incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies to teach practical tools for managing intense feelings and improving communication.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods collaboratively so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Katherine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access timely support between sessions, and continue work from familiar environments while working with a licensed professional who tailors evidence-informed techniques to each client's situation.
