About Kathryn
Kathryn Stocks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family matters, self-esteem, and depression. Kathryn helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by everyday pressures and relationship strain.
She uses clear, practical conversations rather than clinical jargon. Sessions tend to center on identifying what matters most to the person and on small, doable steps to reduce distress. She listens for relationship patterns and attachment concerns that often drive conflict or withdrawal.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions. Client-centered principles guide the pace and focus of sessions so the person’s concerns shape the work.
Parents and adults dealing with blended family stress, separation, infidelity, or ongoing communication problems can expect straightforward problem-focused support. Kathryn also addresses issues like codependency, body image, substance concerns, guilt, and isolation. These topics are approached in simple steps that fit into busy lives.
People who choose Kathryn often want practical tools for managing anxiety, clearer ways to talk about relationship problems, and help rebuilding self-worth. The first session typically assesses current struggles and sets small goals to work toward between meetings.
How sessions work
How Kathryn’s approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter to the person. It helps with anxiety, avoidance, and finding steadier motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow, offering practical exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns from early connections and how they show up now, which can help with communication problems and trust issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn will discuss these methods with the person and decide collaboratively which ideas to try first. Goals, preferences, and what feels useful will guide which tools are used and how sessions proceed.
