See online therapy optionsAbout Katherine
Katherine Gatlin is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, low self-esteem, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting worries, and depression.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and works on clear steps people can try between sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Katherine uses evidence-informed techniques to teach skills for managing intense emotions and reducing unhelpful thinking patterns. She includes mindfulness tools and problem-solving strategies so clients have concrete options when old patterns reappear. Motivational interviewing is used to help people clarify goals and strengthen their own reasons for change.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Katherine listens to the client’s perspective and helps set small, measurable goals. Progress is tracked with concrete practices rather than vague statements about feelings alone.
She has experience supporting people with additional concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, codependency, domestic violence, substance-related difficulties, and intellectual disability. Those areas are explored with the same focus on practical steps and skills.
Katherine invites prospective clients to consider a short intake and goal-setting session to see if her methods fit their needs. The first meeting focuses on immediate priorities and a simple plan for moving forward.
How cognitive and skills-based approaches work online
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with specific behavioral experiments and practice. It is often used for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and stress-related problems. DBT - Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. It can help when strong emotions or impulsivity make daily life difficult. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and support behavioral change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and symptoms together, then try concrete strategies to see what helps. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time based on what produces useful change for the client.
Confirm session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commuting time, or allow shorter check-ins if that fits a client's schedule. They also let clients use techniques in real-life settings and bring in immediate examples to work on during the session. Ask about the available formats and how typical sessions are structured when arranging the first appointment.
