About Kathryn
Kathryn Wich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, LGBTQ-related concerns, relationship strain, grief, and self-esteem difficulties. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused approaches. She uses these methods to help people break down problems into manageable steps and practice new skills between sessions. Conversations are aimed at clearer thinking, better coping, and measurable small goals.
Kathryn often helps with mood disorders, panic attacks, phobias, and post-traumatic stress by teaching techniques to spot patterns and test alternatives. She also supports people dealing with life transitions, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and issues tied to aging and hospice care. Practical communication strategies are used for relationship and family-related problems.
Work typically includes setting short-term goals and checking progress week to week. Mindfulness skills and behavioral experiments are common tools used to change daily habits. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find reasons to change.
To begin, people complete an intake that highlights goals and immediate concerns. From there the first sessions usually focus on stabilization, goal setting, and a simple plan of action. Kathryn practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then test small changes. It is useful for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and phobias by breaking goals into clear steps and practice tasks. Client-centered methods focus on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters most and set their own priorities. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments. Choosing an approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has helped or not helped before. From there she suggests techniques to try and revises the plan based on what works. This collaborative process aims to find practical strategies that fit the clients life and preferences. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday or to continue care during life transitions. Online work also allows straightforward review of worksheets, guided mindfulness practice, and setting short homework tasks that are easy to complete between meetings.Areas of expertise
