Kathryn Tajchman , LSCSW

Kathryn Tajchman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical ways to build confidence and recognize strengths. Kathryn centers care on what a person can control and how to respond differently to tough situations.

Her approach emphasizes spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new responses. Kathryn uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions tend to be concrete and action-oriented so people leave with steps they can try between meetings.

She has about 10 years of clinical experience and brings personal perspective from raising four children and growing up on a dairy farm in rural Kansas. Those life experiences inform her interest in supporting parents, people facing divorce or separation, and those grieving losses. She also works with people navigating pregnancy and childbirth and related maternal concerns.

Typical topics Kathryn addresses include abandonment and attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Many people come wanting clearer boundaries, calmer reactions, and steadier daily routines.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Kathryn aims to collaborate with each person to find realistic steps forward and to help them notice progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

There are a few straightforward techniques Kathryn uses that translate well to remote work. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on recognizing patterns of thought and testing small behavioral changes. This helps with anxiety, depression, and situations where stress leads to reactive responses. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on clear goals and practical steps, which suits people who want brief, directed work to solve immediate problems.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kathryn will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their situation and preferences. Together they adjust the plan over time based on what is helping and what feels realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or short reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or rural schedules while keeping steady progress.
