About Katherine
Katherine Gatlin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and parenting concerns. She also supports work on eating and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, addictions, grief, and related challenges. Katherine writes in plain, direct language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they think and feel.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what matters to the client. She encourages small, doable changes and checks in on progress along the way. Katherine uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs.
That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, dialectical skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness to reduce reactivity, and solution-focused work to set short-term goals. She tailors methods to the concern, whether that is trauma, anxiety, or parenting stress. Her approach is collaborative.
She listens to each person’s priorities and works together to develop strategies that fit daily life. Sessions often involve practice between meetings so skills become part of routine. With five years of clinical experience, Katherine draws on a range of tools and real-world supports.
She aims to help people feel more capable and in control of their choices. If someone wants a clear plan and steady support, she offers practical guidance to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, body image, and eating-related concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps. DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes emotional regulation and coping skills. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming, with tools for distress tolerance and clearer communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will talk with each person about their goals and daily routines, then recommend methods that fit. She adapts strategies over time and checks in to make sure the approach feels useful and realistic for the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a screen is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when shorter, more frequent contact is preferred. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice skills between sessions.
