About Katherine
Katherine Gatlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, self-esteem problems, addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting questions, and depression. Katherine also notes experience with adoption and foster care, body image, codependency, guilt and shame, and related challenges.
In sessions she keeps things direct and practical. She helps people name what they are feeling and notice what keeps those feelings going. Conversations focus on concrete steps and small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Katherine uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. She blends these methods to fit what a person needs in the moment rather than following a single script.
Her style invites clear thinking about difficult emotions and past events. Discussions often look at unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors, practice new ways of responding, and try short experiments between sessions. The emphasis is on skills people can use outside sessions.
People who choose her typically want straightforward guidance and practical tools for handling upsetting feelings. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button. Katherine works in English and is based in Wisconsin.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against evidence. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and homework to try between meetings, which can make patterns easier to notice and change.DBT emphasizes skills for regulating strong emotions and handling interpersonal stress. In remote sessions that may mean practicing grounding techniques, emotion regulation skills, and role-play for difficult conversations so people can use those tools in real situations.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices for noticing thoughts and feelings without reacting. Short guided practices and brief check-ins fit well into an online rhythm and can be repeated between sessions.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that suit a person's needs, and adjust plans if something is not working. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to keep using.
Confirm session formats before booking since current options are not listed here. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into weekdays, work breaks, or other daily routines. Some formats allow shorter check-ins, some work without video, and others use a fuller session length, so checking available options helps match therapy to everyday life.
