About Kathryn
Kathryn Heinzen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience in Wisconsin. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. Kathryn also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem, anger, career questions, and parenting stress.
She began her career in varied clinical settings, including group homes and inpatient and outpatient psychiatric programs. That background means she has worked with people at different stages of recovery and change. She draws on practical therapeutic tools rather than one fixed method.
Kathryn’s approach centers on collaborative conversations and clear goals. She listens, reflects, and at times pushes for actionable steps. Sessions often include skill building, problem solving, and tracking progress between meetings.
Her work uses client-centered techniques alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. For people coping with trauma, trauma-focused therapy can be part of the plan when appropriate. She also brings experience with body image, caregiver stress, aging concerns, and hospice or end-of-life issues.
Many clients come for help with common young adult pressures like starting work, relationship changes, or feeling off-track after school. Kathryn helps people break problems into manageable steps and set realistic next actions. To start, she asks about current needs and goals and builds the plan from there.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the client guide the pace and topics of work. This approach helps with self-esteem, decisions about relationships, and figuring out next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on identifying what the client wants to see happen next.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try approaches and adjust them based on what works in real life.
