About Katherine
Katherine Gatlin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting challenges, trauma, eating concerns, and related struggles. She brings five years of clinical work in Wisconsin and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control. Sessions aim to be straightforward and nonjudgmental.
Katherine listens first, then helps identify small changes that fit into daily life. She encourages honest conversation about feelings and behaviors and works with each person at their own pace.
Background and approach
Her approach draws from methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. These tools are used to calm overwhelming thoughts, build coping skills, and set realistic goals. Motivational interviewing helps clarify what matters most and supports moving toward those goals.
Katherine also brings attention to specific issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy-related concerns, body image, and challenges related to adoption or intellectual disability. She uses experience with a wide range of problems to tailor practical strategies rather than one-size-fits-all plans. The aim in therapy is steady progress.
Katherine works with clients to try techniques, check what helps, and adjust plans as needed. Her style is supportive and focused on what people can do next to feel better.
How specific approaches can work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and handling impulsive behaviors through emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness Therapy encourages paying attention to the present moment to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with worry and stress.Katherine works collaboratively to find the right approach. She will talk with each person about their concerns, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust plans together. Finding the best fit is part of the work rather than a one-time decision.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. These options make it easier to fit support into busy family schedules and to check in between sessions when needed. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and practical needs for parents and caregivers.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
