About Kathryn

Kathryn Wich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who draws on a decade of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She integrates Internal Family Systems with cognitive and mindfulness-based tools to tailor work to each person's needs, helping clients address symptoms like panic, depression, and post-traumatic stress while strengthening self-awareness and coping skills. Her background includes undergraduate and graduate training in psychology and mental health counseling at the University of Florida, followed by ongoing practice since 2010.

Kathryn blends client-centered listening with solution-focused and motivational techniques to create treatment plans that reflect individual goals and values. This approach extends to concerns such as grief and loss, LGBTQ and gender dysphoria issues, caregiver stress, body image, and end-of-life or hospice counseling.

Sessions focus on practical strategies and inner exploration so clients can move toward clearer communication, healthier coping, and increased emotional resilience. Kathryn works with a broad range of issues including anger, bipolar and mood disorders, phobias, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and compassion fatigue, adapting methods to each person’s circumstances and aims.

Combining IFS and Evidence-Based Methods for Online Care

Internal Family Systems helps clients explore internal parts and their roles, supporting healing by fostering compassionate inner leadership and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic symptoms, and mood-driven patterns. Mindfulness-based techniques cultivate present-moment awareness and stress regulation, aiding clients coping with trauma, grief, and ongoing life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasize inner exploration, skills training, or a blend of techniques based on progress and emerging concerns.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy or changing schedules. These formats support continuity of work, offer options for those who prefer different communication styles, and allow licensed professionals to guide practical coping strategies and deeper therapeutic work across distance.
