About Katherine
Katherine Gatlin is an LPC based in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self-esteem challenges, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting struggles, and depression.
Background and approach
With five years of clinical experience, she draws on evidence-informed tools to help clients articulate goals and develop practical strategies for change. Katherine emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and aims to create a collaborative space where emotions and thoughts can be explored openly.
Her work often incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and skills-based approaches to address unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping resources. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
Katherine values the client perspective and partners with people to identify supports and approaches that align with their priorities, helping them take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Translate to Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many eating-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance techniques to reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and trauma.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will explore which strategies to emphasize, adapt techniques as progress unfolds, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility in how and when someone engages in sessions. These formats make it easier to access consistent care despite busy schedules or geographic constraints, and they allow therapists to deliver practical skills training, thought work, and mindfulness exercises in ways that suit the client's routine.
