About Tom
Tom Gozinske is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience based in Wisconsin. He focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, and related concerns. He also works with people facing relationship strain, addiction, low self-esteem, bipolar and depression, and ADHD.
He meets people who notice old family patterns showing up in adulthood. He talks through how family roles, expectations, and attachment issues can affect current relationships and behavior. Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at identifying patterns and options for change.
Tom uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. That approach fits concerns like addiction, coping with life changes, and motivation around mood or behavior shifts. He listens for what matters most to the client and helps move from thinking about change to taking steps toward it.
In conversation he pays attention to how family of origin and abandonment themes influence choices and reactions. He also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, codependency, and issues that arise with blended families or separation. He keeps language simple and focuses on concrete next steps.
Clients can expect direct talk about goals, options, and possible strategies. Tom invites careful reflection and practical planning rather than vague reassurance. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It focuses on listening, asking gentle questions, and drawing out a person’s own reasons to try new behaviors. This approach is useful for addictions, making life changes, and boosting motivation for mood or habit shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. They also let people meet with licensed professionals from different locations without needing to rearrange long commutes.
