About Katherine

Katherine Gatlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, addiction, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and depression. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and grounded for someone taking the first step.

Katherine creates a welcoming space where clients can speak about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. She emphasizes practical conversation and steady support rather than rushed solutions. Her approach is collaborative - she listens, offers feedback, and works with each person to set realistic goals.

In sessions she will help clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior and try small, testable changes. She draws on techniques that teach emotion regulation and skills for handling strong feelings. The focus is on usable strategies people can apply between sessions.

Katherine values each person’s perspective and tailors plans to fit real life. She encourages people to build strengths and to practice new ways of coping at a manageable pace. Progress is measured by what matters most to the client rather than by labels.

With five years of professional experience, Katherine blends practical therapy methods with patience and respect. People who want clear tools and steady guidance may find her style especially helpful. She works in English and is licensed to practice in Wisconsin.

How therapeutic approaches and online work fit together

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying small practical changes to behavior. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and eating-related concerns by teaching steps people can practice between sessions.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can reduce impulsive or self-destructive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals evolve and progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people use approaches like CBT and DBT exercises in the context of daily routines, so skills are practiced where they matter most.
