About Kim

Dr. Kim Gorecki is a Wisconsin psychologist (WI Psychologist 2810 - 57) with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, grief, anger, self-esteem, career worries, and life changes. Sessions are practical and focused on helping people manage day-to-day problems and improve how they relate to others.

Kim uses client-centered work to listen and understand each person's perspective. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build clearer behavior patterns. Mindfulness tools and solution-focused steps are added when people want concrete ways to cope in the moment.

Her background includes many years in outpatient mental health clinics, along with experience in correctional facilities and psychiatric hospitals. That range informs how she helps people find clearer organization, steadier mood, and better communication skills. She offers both short-term, solution-focused work and longer-term therapy depending on what a person needs.

In sessions, Kim often teaches practical coping strategies for stress and anger. She also helps people work through relationship breakdown, parenting strain, and questions around life purpose. Motivational interviewing is used to support change when someone feels stuck.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. People can expect to talk through specific problems, practice skills between sessions, and revise the plan as progress is made.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone is saying. In practice that means the therapist asks questions, mirrors concerns, and helps a person feel understood so they can sort out priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together. It uses short exercises and homework to test different ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anger, anxiety, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that match those aims. They adjust the plan over time, combining listening, skill practice, and brief problem-solving so sessions stay useful and focused.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also let someone practice skills in their ordinary routine and bring real-life situations into discussion without changing plans at home or work.
