Kathryn Heinzen, LPC

Kathryn Heinzen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings 15 years of experience and a practical, focused approach to therapy. Kathryn works with adults on common struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes.

She uses simple, active listening and goal-setting in sessions. Clients can expect a warm and supportive presence along with honest challenges when change is needed. Kathryn draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new strategies.

Her background includes work in group homes, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and an intensive outpatient hospital setting. That variety means she has supported people at different points in their mental health journey, including those facing hospice and end-of-life concerns and caregiving stress.

Beyond talk therapy, Kathryn has experience related to body image and healthy living as a certified personal trainer, which can inform work around weight loss and self-image when clients bring those concerns. She also helps people managing ADHD symptoms, attachment issues, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Kathryn helps clients set manageable actions, track progress, and adjust plans as needed. She encourages clients to build skills they can use between sessions and to notice small improvements over time.

Approaches that guide online work and practical change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that match those needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity of care during life changes, while the therapist focuses on skills, coping strategies, and measurable steps clients can use between meetings.
