About Kathryn

Kathryn Heinzen is an LPC with 15 years of clinical experience practicing in Wisconsin. She has worked across a variety of treatment settings and with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family challenges, career transitions, grief, and other life changes.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting clients with body image concerns and addiction-related issues as well as addressing compassion fatigue and ADHD among many other concerns. Her approach blends warmth and support with practical guidance and occasional challenge to promote growth.

Kathryn emphasizes active listening, collaborative goal-setting, and skill building. She draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies while maintaining a client-centered stance that respects each person’s priorities and pace.

Clients seeking help with mood concerns, coping strategies, communication patterns, parenting or caregiving stress, impulsivity, or life transitions can expect structured, goal-oriented sessions tailored to their needs. Kathryn also works with issues related to aging and geriatric concerns, attachment and autism spectrum considerations, eating and food-related struggles, and end-of-life or hospice counseling.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kathryn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques when working with online clients. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and mood fluctuations. Solution-focused therapy prioritizes clear, achievable goals and practical steps to move forward when facing stressors, relationship challenges, or life transitions.

Determining the best approach is collaborative; the therapist and client work together to choose methods that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often blend elements from different approaches so care can shift as progress is made and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Kathryn offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home or work. Licensed professionals can adapt session format and pace to support skill building, coping strategies, and goal attainment over time.
