About Katherine
Katherine Gatlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, eating-related issues, and codependency patterns. Katherine writes plainly and directly about common struggles people bring when they feel stuck by other people's needs or overwhelmed by caregiving roles.
Her approach combines practical skills and steady conversation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also part of sessions when they fit the person's goals.
In the room she listens for patterns that keep someone putting others first, then introduces strategies to shift those patterns. That might mean practicing saying no, working on body image and eating-related habits, or building short skill sets for handling strong emotions. She also supports people who are coping with grief, addiction, or the aftermath of domestic violence.
Katherine emphasizes collaborative work. Sessions are practical and paced to each person's needs. She helps people set small, measurable steps and reviews progress regularly so changes feel manageable.
Her background includes five years of professional practice in Wisconsin and work across several concerns such as adoption and foster care, autism, intellectual disability, and co-occurring conditions. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPC scope in Wisconsin.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot thought patterns and test small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties because it breaks problems into clear steps for practice.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. It teaches breathing, grounding, and boundary strategies that can reduce reactivity in tense relationships and manage urges linked to impulsivity or substance use.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple exercises. It supports people who get overwhelmed by strong feelings or who struggle with body image and eating-related impulses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Confirm current session formats before booking since session types are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make practicing skills between meetings simpler, since exercises can be done in the person's everyday environment.
