About Kathryn
Kathryn Stocks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. Kathryn aims to make it straightforward to talk about difficult feelings and decisions without judgment.
Her practice draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit different needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for practical skill-building around anxiety, mood, and problem thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds can affect present choices.
Sessions focus on clear conversation and real-life application. Kathryn helps people identify patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships, and then practices small, doable steps to change those habits. She also addresses related concerns like codependency, blended family issues, and communication problems.
Her work includes exploring life changes such as divorce or midlife shifts, and struggles tied to substance use, guilt, or shame. Jungian ideas are sometimes used to look at personal meaning and inner conflicts.
People who want straightforward, skills-based work and a collaborative approach can expect practical tools, reflective conversation, and step-by-step planning to test new ways of relating and coping.
How sessions work
How Kathryn blends evidence-based approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect what matters to them. It’s useful for addressing avoidance, anxiety, and patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and practicing specific skills to change mood and behavior, which can be helpful for anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns, useful when recurring relationship issues or codependent tendencies are present.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their goals and preferences. That often means trying practical exercises, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use tools like worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and behavior experiments between sessions to test new ways of relating and coping.
