Katherine Gatlin, LPC

Katherine Gatlin is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Wisconsin who helps people managing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and depression. She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard thoughts and feelings. Katherine frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients as they take steps toward change.

Katherine brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on practical strategies that fit into everyday life, using methods that help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and cope with intense emotions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented so progress can be tracked.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. She helps people break large problems into manageable steps and build skills for dealing with stress, cravings, or relationship conflicts. Katherine also addresses grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and a range of additional challenges such as adoption and foster care questions, body image, codependency, and substance-related problems.

Katherine values each person’s perspective and partners with them to develop supports and strategies that feel workable. She encourages small, concrete changes that add up over time. If you’re weighing therapy, she invites you to take a first step and see what a short plan of work might look like.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems because it focuses on small, practical experiments you can try between sessions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships and impulses cause frequent conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Katherine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new issues come up.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may reduce travel time, let people schedule appointments around work or caregiving, and support steady follow-up between visits.
