About Tom

Tom Gozinske is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience practicing in Wisconsin.

Background and approach

He focuses on a broad range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, relationship and family difficulties, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Tom emphasizes helping people manage life transitions and the stresses that accompany caregiving, divorce, and other major changes.

His approach centers on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings and thoughts openly. Tom uses motivational interviewing strategies to support clients in clarifying goals and finding motivation for change, and he brings practical attention to communication, attachment, and coping skills.

He works with people facing issues from attachment struggles and abandonment to autism-related needs and disruptive mood concerns, offering focused attention to each person's circumstances. Tom encourages the first step toward therapy and guides clients through the process of identifying next steps and workable strategies.

Practical Approaches for Online Change

Tom integrates motivational interviewing into online work, helping clients clarify values and build internal motivation for change through empathetic, goal-focused conversation. This approach is well suited to challenges like addictions, low motivation, and periods of ambivalence about change.

He also emphasizes collaborative exploration of problems and practical coping strategies. That means the therapist and client work together to identify which methods fit the client's needs, whether the focus is improving communication, managing mood symptoms, or navigating life transitions. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Tom will help tailor techniques based on each client's goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats can make it easier to keep consistent appointments around work, caregiving, or busy schedules, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own locations while working on motivation, coping skills, and relationship or mood concerns.
