Tom Gozinske, LPC, LMHC

Tom Gozinske is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Wisconsin. He holds LPC and LMHC credentials and brings seven years of experience to his work. He tries to make it easier to begin by offering a calm, nonjudgmental presence when people reach out for help.

Tom helps people facing addiction, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. He also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. He listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on practical next steps rather than jargon.

In sessions he aims to build a straightforward, open space where feelings and thoughts can be talked through. He uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to make changes and to strengthen commitment to those steps. Conversations are paced to match what the client can manage in the moment.

Tom also works with issues connected to family stress, caregiving strain, abandonment and attachment concerns, and relationship communication problems. He addresses aging and geriatric questions, blended family challenges, and consequences of disasters when those come up in a client's story.

People who come to Tom for help often want clear, practical guidance and a steady listener. He encourages small experiments between sessions and adjusts the approach as needs change. To begin, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people find their own reasons for change. It asks open questions, reflects what you say, and supports commitment to small, achievable steps. This approach often helps with addiction, low motivation, and making difficult life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences to decide what to try first. That decision is made together and may shift as progress is tracked over time.

Confirm what session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to keep therapy consistent during life changes, while the therapist and client monitor how the approach is working and adjust plans accordingly.
