   About Katherine

   Katherine Gatlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, and trauma. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can talk about what matters to them. Katherine understands seeking help can feel hard, and she supports people taking those first steps toward change.

   In session she listens closely to each person's experience and priorities. Katherine focuses on practical steps and clear goals, while also giving room to talk about feelings and hard memories. She draws on approaches such as Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

   She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help manage intense emotions and build steady coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy informs brief, goal-oriented conversations aimed at making achievable progress between sessions. Katherine adapts her style to each person’s needs and pace.

   Over five years of practice she has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including addiction and intimate-relationship difficulties, parenting stress, body-image and eating-related issues, and challenges tied to adoption or developmental differences. Katherine values collaboration and clear planning so people leave sessions with concrete next steps.

   People interested in working together can expect straightforward language, practical tools, and an emphasis on their goals. Katherine aims to help clients feel heard and to guide them toward changes that fit their life.

2. Approaches used online and how they help

   Katherine uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and strengthen motivation one step at a time. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and guiding people toward goals they actually want to pursue.
   
   She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT offers concrete strategies for shifting unhelpful thought patterns and building healthier habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness exercises are used when managing strong emotions and building coping skills is a priority.
   
   Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress unfolds.
   
   The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to match practical needs and scheduling constraints.
