Kathryn Tajchman, LSCSW

Kathryn Tajchman is a licensed social worker who helps adults navigate major life changes and emotional challenges with practical, evidence-based care. She emphasizes that each person has strengths worth discovering and builds therapy around identifying those strengths while addressing unhelpful thought patterns that can get in the way of personal goals. Kathryn focuses on what clients can control and teaches strategies to respond less reactively in stressful situations.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a method that links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression - alongside Solution Focused techniques that concentrate on practical steps toward clients' goals. Kathryn is certified in Maternal Mental Health and works with pregnant and postpartum women as well as fathers, offering specialized support for perinatal adjustment and parenting concerns.

Kathryn brings both professional and personal experience to her work. She has raised four adult children over 28 years and was raised on a dairy farm in rural Kansas, perspectives she draws on when supporting parents and families. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief, and depression, along with related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, communication problems, and life purpose. As an LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker - she provides compassionate, goal-oriented therapy tailored to each client's situation.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Support

Kathryn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps clients identify and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress. This approach offers practical tools for managing reactions and building healthier routines. She also applies Solution Focused techniques that prioritize clients' strengths and immediate, achievable steps toward their goals - a useful method for people navigating transitions like divorce, grief, or new parenthood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the client’s situation.

Online sessions make it easier to fit care into busy lives. Kathryn offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for parents, caregivers, and those in rural areas. These options allow clients to connect from home or work, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals without long commutes.
