About Katherine

Katherine Mcglynn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and navigate major life changes. Katherine approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and clear.

Her work emphasizes practical conversations that match each person's needs. She listens first to understand what feels hardest and then helps set small, doable goals. Sessions often center on improving communication, managing workplace strain, and handling family-related stress without assuming one single path to change.

Katherine uses techniques that encourage motivation and solution building. She helps people find steady steps forward when guilt, shame, or compassion fatigue make choices harder. She also supports those dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability by addressing the emotional side of long-term health challenges.

Money and financial issues are part of her practice when they affect a person's wellbeing or choices. Katherine works with people facing divorce or separation, and those trying to rebuild self-worth after difficult events. She focuses on what someone can do next rather than on blame.

Overall, Katherine aims for collaborative, straightforward work. She tailors conversations and plans to each person. Her goal is to help people feel more able to handle daily demands and make changes that matter.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflections to build motivation and reduce resistance, which can be useful for addictions, procrastination, or making lifestyle shifts.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on practical solutions and small steps. Sessions focus on what is already working and how to do more of it, which can be helpful for stress, workplace issues, and everyday challenges.

Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner life and how they relate. It helps people understand self-critical or fearful parts and supports gentler ways to handle shame, guilt, and emotional pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She emphasizes trying practical strategies together and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
