Tom Gozinske, LPC, LMHC

Tom Gozinske is a licensed counselor practicing in Wisconsin and Iowa with seven years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and other life challenges. He holds the credentials LPC and LMHC - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and brings a calm, steady presence to therapeutic work.

Tom emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can share thoughts and feelings openly and begin to clarify goals. He partners with clients to explore concerns, build coping strategies, and practice skills that fit their daily lives. Beginning therapy can require courage, and Tom acknowledges that first step while offering encouragement and practical guidance as clients move forward.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication preferences. Across his work, Tom focuses on collaboration, respect, and helping each person find approaches that suit their needs and circumstances.

Motivational Interviewing and flexible online care

Tom uses Motivational Interviewing as a core approach - a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people explore their own reasons for change and build motivation at their own pace. This method is particularly helpful for individuals facing addictions, ambivalence about change, or when adjusting to difficult life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Tom will listen to each person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and then help determine whether Motivational Interviewing or another path is the best fit. That decision is made collaboratively, with respect for the client’s values and readiness to change.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, check in between sessions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while tailoring interactions to what feels most comfortable and useful for the client.
