Kathryn Wich , LMHC

Kathryn Wich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who practices with a warm, person-centered approach. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and identity-related concerns. Kathryn explains things plainly and aims to make sessions feel respectful and empowering.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Florida and a master’s degree and specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling from the same university. She has practiced in Florida for about 10 years and draws on that experience when planning care.

In sessions she combines Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, solution-focused methods, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Kathryn adapts tools to match each person’s goals instead of using one fixed method. Sessions move at a pace that fits the client’s needs.

Common issues she helps people address include grief and loss, relationship and communication problems, self-esteem and body image concerns, and a wide range of mood and anxiety challenges. She also supports people dealing with trauma, post-traumatic stress, gender dysphoria, and LGBTQ-related concerns.

Kathryn offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. She works with adults facing life changes, caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, and compassion fatigue, and tailors plans to practical, real-world needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building trust so people can work toward their own goals; it helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic attacks, and mood symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase awareness of emotion and bodily signals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress and challenges become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or hands-free conversation helps. Live chat and messaging work for quick check-ins, short problem-solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to continue care when in-person visits are not practical.
