About Kathryn
Kathryn Stocks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Kathryn lists guilt and shame among her additional focus areas and helps people bring those feelings into conversation.
She uses a mix of therapies to guide sessions so conversations stay practical and grounded. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships and attachment, and include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques help people notice difficult emotions without being driven by them.
Kathryn aims to create an environment where clients can speak openly about hard feelings. She encourages clear communication about needs, boundaries, and next steps. Work may include reflecting on family or faith-related guilt, addressing codependency, or rebuilding trust after separation or infidelity.
Practical skills are balanced with time to examine deeper personal themes, such as life purpose, identity, and body image. Jungian ideas may be used to explore personal stories and symbolic meaning when that fits a client’s goals. Therapy is collaborative, with choices about pace and focus discussed together.
Sessions are conducted in English and Kathryn does not take international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her therapeutic methods work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them and supports choosing actions that reflect personal values. This approach can help when guilt or shame keeps someone stuck in avoidance or self-criticism.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and change patterns that fuel anxiety or low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns formed in early life and how they show up now, which can clarify why guilt or trust issues repeat.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills work, relational exploration, or meaning-focused reflection.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists commonly blend practical exercises, reflective conversation, and goal-setting so work can continue between appointments.
