About Kathryn
Kathryn Heinzen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings 15 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. Kathryn aims to create a warm, direct space where people can set clear goals and take practical steps toward feeling better.

Her background includes work in group homes, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and an intensive outpatient setting. That variety means she has seen many points in a recovery process and can adapt approaches to fit where someone is starting from. She also has experience around body image and weight-management concerns from earlier work as a certified personal trainer.
Her style is described as compassionate and supportive, with a willingness to challenge clients when growth is the aim. Kathryn often uses cognitive behavioral strategies alongside client-centered listening to address anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. She also incorporates trauma-focused and solution-focused methods when they suit a person’s goals.
People who choose Kathryn should expect straightforward sessions with practical takeaways. She helps people identify next steps, try new skills between meetings, and check what works. Those interested in beginning can follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule.
How Kathryn’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps clients clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for people needing a supportive space to talk through anxiety, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses simple tools such as tracking unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments. CBT is often helpful for panic, anxiety, low mood, and stress when people want concrete strategies to practice between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kathryn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in regularly and adjusting strategies if something is not helping.

Others prefer in-person meetings for longer, deeper work; the therapist will help determine what makes the most sense for practical scheduling and treatment goals.
