About Kathryn

Kathryn Heinzen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 15 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has supported people through depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and major life transitions, and has experience addressing concerns related to self-esteem, addiction, relationship and family dynamics, parenting, career shifts, and bipolar disorder. Her background includes work across multiple care settings, giving her familiarity with a range of clinical presentations and stages of recovery.

Her style is described as warm and compassionate while remaining purposefully challenging when growth is needed. Kathryn draws from evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and blends client-centered and solution-focused elements to help clients set practical goals and build coping skills.

She also attends to issues such as body image, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, aging and geriatric matters, and end-of-life or hospice counseling. Kathryn offers therapy in English and provides sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

She works with clients on topics from anger and impulsivity to isolation, forgiveness, and career coaching, and frames the work as a collaborative effort to identify priorities and develop actionable strategies.

Approaches that guide online care and progress

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people clarify values, build self-understanding, and set personally meaningful goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve coping, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical, short-term strategies and strengths to move toward specific changes, often helping clients make measurable progress in areas like communication, career decisions, or managing life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailor a blend of techniques that fit the client’s situation. Clients can expect a balance of supportive listening and structured skill-building so treatment aligns with what they want to accomplish.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals without rearranging major parts of daily life, and they support follow-up, homework, and ongoing coaching between live conversations.
