Dr. Kim Gorecki

Dr. Kim Gorecki offers a calm, collaborative therapy style that centers on each person's strengths. She creates a space where people feel heard and understood while working toward clearer thinking and better daily balance. Her approach is practical and focused on real-life changes rather than jargon or long lists of steps.

With 24 years of experience in clinical settings, Kim has worked mostly in outpatient mental health clinics and also in correctional facilities and psychiatric hospitals. Over that time she has helped people with anxiety, stress, adjustment, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, career questions, self-esteem issues, and life transitions including divorce and separation.

Sessions often include learning coping and communication skills. Kim uses methods that encourage small, steady changes and that build on what is already working in someone’s life. She offers both short-term solution-focused work and longer, deeper therapy depending on a person’s needs and goals.

Kim earned a doctorate degree in clinical psychology in 2005 from the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology. She holds the credential WI Psychologist 2810 - 57. Her background means she combines practical skill-building with attention to emotional safety and clarity.

People who want straightforward support for stress, anxiety, relationships, and life changes may find her style direct and comforting. To start, she asks about current needs and together they decide on a plan that fits daily life and goals.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people discover their own goals. It supports people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through relationship stress, life changes, or parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and skill building to reduce anxiety, manage stress, or address low mood and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to what you want to change and how you like to work. Together you can try short-term solution-focused steps or more in-depth work and adjust as goals evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from convenient locations. It can also support shorter check-ins during a break or allow work that uses worksheets and between-session practice just like in-person care. Ask about the available formats when you schedule to make sure they fit your routine.
