About Kathryn

Kathryn Stocks is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin who centers her work on evidence-informed therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She brings three years of clinical experience to helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and challenges with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Kathryn emphasizes practical skills and reflective work to help clients shift unhelpful thinking and build more adaptive habits. Her practice also addresses relationship and family concerns, including communication problems, blended family dynamics, attachment challenges, and issues related to divorce or separation.

Kathryn integrates client-centered and attachment-based perspectives to create a collaborative space where clients can explore emotions, values, and relational patterns. She welcomes discussions about life purpose, midlife transitions, addiction concerns, body image, and struggles with guilt, shame, or isolation.

Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental approach that blends practical interventions with deeper exploratory work informed by Jungian ideas when appropriate. Kathryn frames therapy as a partnership, helping people take courageous steps toward clearer priorities, healthier relationships, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood; it often includes practical exercises and skill building to support daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful behavior changes, which can help with stress, motivation, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and how early bonds influence current relationships, offering a lens for improving communication and connection within families and partnerships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathryn works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. Together they will review what feels most useful and adapt strategies as progress unfolds, blending practical techniques and reflective exploration as needed.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from Wisconsin without commuting, and they allow the therapist and client to try different formats to see what supports engagement and progress most effectively.
