About Tom
Tom Gozinske is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of practice in Wisconsin and Iowa. He focuses on common life struggles such as anger, trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, bipolar concerns, and relationship problems. Tom also helps with attention concerns like ADHD, low self-esteem, caregiver stress, and responses to major life changes.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations center on what is going on now and what a person wants to change. He uses clear questions and reflective listening to help clients notice patterns and decide on small steps forward.
Tom applies Motivational Interviewing to build motivation for change. That approach helps people weigh options, reduce resistance, and commit to manageable goals. It is often used when someone wants to cut back on substance use, change relationship habits, or work through avoidance.
In sessions he pays attention to how anger shows up - at work, in relationships, or as simmering resentment. He helps people name triggers, try different responses, and practice new behaviors in safe conversation. He also addresses related issues like attachment wounds, codependency, and communication problems.
Tom works in English and has practiced in community settings and outpatient care. The sign-up process uses a short questionnaire and scheduling step to arrange a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Motivational Interviewing and practical talk work online
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people weigh their options and find personal reasons to change. It focuses on small, achievable steps and reducing resistance, which can help with substance use, habit change, and settling on goals.In addition to that, sessions emphasize clear questions and reflective listening. That combination helps people spot behavior patterns, name triggers for anger or avoidance, and try new responses in conversation before testing them in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether Motivational Interviewing or another practical method fits best. That choice is guided by the client's goals, current challenges, and preferences rather than assumed in advance.
Confirm session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let someone use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options if that helps with focus or comfort. Talk with the therapist during the matching step about which arrangements will work best for everyday life.
