About Kathryn

Kathryn Wich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem, and LGBT-related issues. Kathryn also helps people navigating relationship and intimacy struggles, caregiving stress, and big life changes such as loss or shifts in work and health.

She uses an approach grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear strategies, such as noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and building steady coping skills. Kathryn combines these methods with solution-focused and motivational techniques when clients want short-term goals and concrete progress.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people set realistic goals. That may mean working through trauma symptoms, addressing panic or mood difficulties, or sorting out what comes next after a major life change. She also supports people concerned with identity issues, gender dysphoria, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Her background includes an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Florida and graduate degrees in mental health counseling from the same university. Those clinical years inform a practical style that balances emotional work with actionable tools.

Practical matters are handled directly: Kathryn works as an LMHC licensed in Florida and conducts therapy in English. People interested in exploring life purpose, adjusting to aging or caregiver roles, or managing compassion fatigue often bring those goals into sessions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels understood; it helps when someone is sorting through grief, identity questions, or unclear next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses small experiments and homework to change patterns that keep people stuck. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce overwhelm and support steady responses to stress and panic.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kathryn will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting plans over time based on what is helpful. The process emphasizes clear aims and regular check-ins about progress.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio-only when bandwidth is limited or they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused tasks to virtual settings to keep sessions practical and focused on next steps.
