Hello. My name is Kathy Flynn and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Minnesota. I have worked in the mental health field for 35 years. I worked in the substance-abuse programs for 14 years and went into private practice 21 years ago. My specialty has been working with addictions which includes depression, anxiety, codependency. I’ve also worked with individuals going through divorce and facing fear, anxiety, anger, betrayal, low self-esteem, and communication issues. Grief and aging are also two areas that I have worked with individuals. I’ve also worked with military families from 2007 to 2012, working with re-integration and deployment concerns.
My counseling style is individual psychology which is a cognitive social psychology. I focus on a person's feelings of anxiety and inferiority to examine that person's sense of belonging. My goal is to help people feel comfortable and confident within themselves. My focus is to assist the individual in recognizing and identifying their strengths rather than their witnesses.
I am looking forward to partnering with you and see you move forward on your journey through life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She is an exceptional therapist
Having a therapist who is kind, a great listener, and insightful is invaluable. Kathy is all of those things. She’s also very good about checking in and following up between sessions which makes you feel valued, understood, and heard.
Absolutely amazing!!
Very helpful for this 'out loud' thinker.
She is wonderful! Has real world experience to help better her clients.
I have recently started working with Katherine Flynn and she has been incredibly encouraging and helpful.
Kathy is a great listener and she gives lots of informative informations.
Katherine has been extremely supportive, providing book recommendations and other resources while I’ve been dealing with marriage conflicts and mid-life struggles. She listens without judgement and cares about my emotions the day of our session as well as long-term goals.
Kathy has been really helpful and supports me in ways that I sometimes forget to support myself. I appreciate how willing she is to listen and provide a perspective outside of her own!
I am so glad that I was paired with Kathy! She has made a big difference in the outlooks that I have on life, the way that I talk to myself, and how to put up boundaries with others. She is respectful, a good listener, and she gives me great tools to help me be better. Thank you Kathy!
