Kathryn Tajchman, LSCSW

Kathryn Tajchman is a licensed social worker who helps people find steady ground during big life changes. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, grief, and depression. Her approach aims to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and build more effective ways to respond to daily challenges.

She draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help people break down problems into manageable steps. Sessions look at what someone can control and how to react less impulsively when emotions run high. Kathryn often supports parents and people navigating transitions such as divorce, new parenthood, and loss.

With ten years of clinical experience and the LSCSW credential, she blends structured tools with straightforward conversation. Kathryn has training in maternal mental health and works with pregnant and postpartum women and fathers. Her own experience raising four children and growing up on a dairy farm in rural Kansas informs a down-to-earth style.

In sessions she helps clients build confidence by identifying strengths and small changes that add up. She works on clearer communication, managing caregiver stress, addressing attachment or abandonment concerns, and coping with isolation or guilt. Practical steps and short-term goals are common parts of the plan.

People who choose Kathryn can expect calm, focused sessions that address daily life pressures and longer-term healing. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Kathryn’s approaches work for online care

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts that lead to distress. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try small behavior changes and see what helps.

She also uses Solution Focused techniques that build on existing strengths. These methods identify small, realistic steps toward goals so people can track progress and feel more in control during transitions like new parenthood or separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, reviewing what works, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, which helps with fitting care into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections when needed. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life without asking for big changes.
