About Katherine
Katherine Gatlin helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and depression. She builds a calm space where people can speak without judgment and begin to make practical changes. She uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person.
Sessions focus on small, concrete steps you can try between meetings. Katherine listens for strengths and practical obstacles, then works with clients to set realistic goals.
How Katherine works
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Mindfulness Therapy to help people stay grounded in the moment. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and needs to find their own reasons to change.
Katherine has five years of professional experience and holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - in Wisconsin. That background informs a practical, problem-solving style rather than long theoretical talks. She aims to make sessions feel useful from the start.
People also bring in related concerns such as adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, codependency, control issues, DMDD, domestic violence, substance use, food-related issues, family problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and intellectual disability. Katherine works to tailor strategies to each person’s situation and strengths.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Katherine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT breaks problems into manageable pieces and is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katherine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be useful for shorter check-ins and allows flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care around work, school, and family commitments.
