About Tom

Tom Gozinske is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who practices in Wisconsin. He has seven years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. He aims to make the first step into therapy easier and affirms the courage it takes to begin.

Tom keeps sessions direct and approachable. He focuses on creating an open space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. He listens for what matters most and helps clients set clear, manageable next steps.

In practice he uses practical, goal-focused techniques to help people find momentum. Motivational Interviewing is one approach he offers to help with change, especially around addictions and behavior shifts. He also helps people work through relationship strain, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Tom has experience supporting people facing mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and those managing ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also addresses family-related concerns like communication problems, abandonment issues, blended family stress, and divorce or separation impacts.

He encourages small, steady progress and checks in about what is working. People who want straightforward feedback and a calm, respectful conversation style may find his approach a good fit. Before booking, confirm the current session options and scheduling details to make sure they match your needs.

How Motivational Interviewing Shapes Online Work

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, asking useful questions, and building motivation step by step. This method is often used when someone wants help with addictions, habit changes, or getting unstuck from patterns that cause distress.

The therapist will treat selecting methods as a collaborative process. He talks with each person about goals and preferences and adapts techniques to fit those needs. Over time, clients and the therapist decide together which strategies are most helpful.

If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also support steady momentum between in-person visits when people are balancing work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals tailor the rhythm and tools of sessions so they match a client’s goals and everyday routine.
