About Katherine
Katherine Mcglynn is a licensed clinical social worker who has spent 18 years working with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family tensions, and major life changes. She practices in Wisconsin and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. Katherine focuses on practical steps and listens closely to each person's concerns before shaping a plan together.
She works with people who are dealing with compassion fatigue or the long term effects of chronic pain, illness, and disability.
Background and approach
Communication problems, workplace stress, and money worries are also areas she addresses. Katherine pays attention to emotional issues like guilt, shame, and struggles with self-love. Katherine uses brief, goal-oriented methods alongside deeper exploration when it helps.
She adapts her approach to fit the situation rather than applying one fixed style. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping clients try workable changes between meetings. Her training includes methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
Those tools guide how she supports motivation, clarifies goals, and addresses inner conflicts. Katherine emphasizes collaboration and steady, realistic progress. She encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by family stress, addiction challenges, or life transitions to reach out.
The first steps are simple and focused on matching what a person needs to practical next moves.
How Katherine’s Approaches Work Online
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It’s useful for addictions, ambivalence about life changes, and building momentum for small steps. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on goals and what is already working; sessions identify concrete next steps and quick experiments to test between meetings. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner experience and offers ways to understand and calm those parts that cause conflict or shame.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katherine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust that plan over time based on what is useful and what isn’t. This keeps therapy practical and personalized.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions can be simpler when video isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing access between sessions and can be useful for quick check-ins or support when a meeting isn’t possible. These options make it easier to fit steady progress into everyday routines.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Treats the mind as having distinct parts, each with its own worry or role, and works towards them being less at war with each other. Conversational, so it carries over to online sessions.
