Kathryn Tajchman

Kathryn Tajchman is an LSCSW who helps people find steady ground during hard seasons. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and depression. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping people notice strengths they already have.

In sessions she looks at unhelpful thought patterns and how those habits get in the way of goals. Kathryn emphasizes what each person can control and practices ways to respond less reactively. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused techniques to build clearer thinking and realistic next steps.

Her focus includes relationship and communication problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and the emotional work around divorce and separation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. She lists women’s issues and pregnancy and childbirth among areas she addresses.

Having lived in rural Kansas and raised four children over 28 years, Kathryn brings practical life experience alongside clinical work. She has ten years of practice and holds an LSCSW credential in Kansas. That background informs a down-to-earth approach to parenting and maternal mental health topics.

Sessions are meant to be collaborative. Kathryn aims to help people identify small, manageable changes and build confidence as they move forward. Readers who want to begin are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule.

Evidence-based tools and online support

Many of Kathryn’s clinical choices focus on helping people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks thoughts and behaviors into clear parts and teaches practical ways to shift thinking. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and reacting less impulsively.

Solution Focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable steps and on strengths clients already have. This approach is well suited to life transitions like divorce, new parenthood, or grief where clients want concrete next steps rather than long-term exploration.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That decision is based on concerns, goals, and what feels most useful in early sessions.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter weekly check-ins when needed. Phone-only sessions can work when video is not practical, and video sessions let people use visual cues during conversation.
