About Kathryn

Kathryn Tajchman uses straightforward, evidence-based therapy to help people notice what they can control and make small changes that add up. She emphasizes practical steps and clearer thinking so clients feel steadier when life shifts. Kathryn holds an LSCSW, which stands for Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker, and brings ten years of practice to each session.

Her work centers on breaking down unhelpful thought patterns and building strategies that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on responding less reactively and choosing actions that lead toward personal goals. Kathryn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to keep conversations concrete and action-oriented. She has spent time supporting people through transitions such as grief and loss, divorce and separation, and becoming a parent.

Kathryn also addresses stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and issues like attachment, abandonment, and caregiver stress. Her approach keep things practical and rooted in what a person is ready to try. Kathryn mentions training in Maternal Mental Health and experience working with pregnant and postpartum women and fathers.

She also references life experience raising four adult children and growing up on a dairy farm in rural Kansas, which inform her perspective and practical outlook. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and life transitions

Kathryn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that increase worry or keep them stuck. This approach breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps build practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

She also uses Solution-Focused techniques that concentrate on small, immediate changes and on strengths a person already has. Those methods are useful when someone wants to move through a transition faster and focus on what works rather than on long histories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn collaborates with clients to choose or combine methods based on the person’s goals, needs, and what feels realistic. She adapts sessions over time as priorities change.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These formats allow flexibility for people who travel, live in rural areas, or prefer shorter check-ins. Kathryn uses these options to keep care consistent and approachable while focusing on steps that help in day-to-day life.
