Katherine Mcglynn, LCSW

Katherine Mcglynn is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience in Wisconsin. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, or major life changes. Katherine approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her work focuses on practical steps people can take to feel better day to day. She listens closely to each person's story and tailors conversations and plans to meet specific needs. That can mean short-term goals for coping, or slower work on patterns that keep coming up. Katherine also supports people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability and the ups and downs those bring. She helps with communication problems, financial stress, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Topics like forgiveness, guilt, shame, and building self-love are also part of her practice. Her approach draws on motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. She uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, practical steps that make life more manageable. Internal Family Systems ideas can help connect with different parts of a person's inner experience. Taking the first step feels hard for many people, and Katherine aims to make that step clearer and more doable. She works with each person to set realistic goals and to adjust the plan as needs change. The result is an individualized path toward more manageable days and clearer choices.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding a person's own reasons to change and on strengthening motivation for steps that feel right. It can help when someone is unsure about making a change or feels stuck between options.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often highlight what is already working and build on practical, short-term changes.

Internal Family Systems looks at the different parts of a person's inner life and how they relate to one another. This approach can help people understand conflicting feelings and soften self-criticism.

Katherine treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She talks with each person about their goals and preferences and adjusts methods as needed. That way the approach fits the person's needs rather than the other way around.
