About Kim
Dr. Kim Gorecki is a Wisconsin psychologist (WI Psychologist 2810 - 57) with 24 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, parenting strains, and life transitions. She also lists work with LGBT concerns, family matters, depression, and coaching.
Her approach centers on practical, collaborative work. She blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work are used when someone needs help clarifying goals and taking concrete steps.
Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing stress, and addressing resentment or frequent anger so it interferes less with relationships and daily life. She aims to teach coping skills, organization strategies, and ways to reduce reactive responses. Short-term problem solving and longer-term therapy are both offered depending on the person's needs.
Her background includes long experience in outpatient mental health settings, as well as work in correctional facilities and psychiatric hospitals. That variety has shaped a practical style that emphasizes skill-building and realistic strategies for everyday problems.
Dr. Gorecki trained in psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from the Wisconsin School of Professional Psychology in 2005. She has been a licensed clinical psychologist since 2009 and brings that clinical experience to sessions in Wisconsin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. Online sessions can keep that same focus by using conversation to identify strengths and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behavior patterns and tests new ways of responding; it often uses concrete exercises and homework that translate well to video or phone meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches noticing physical and mental states and using breath and attention skills to reduce reactivity; brief guided practices can be done during a session and practiced between visits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities to decide whether short-term solution work, CBT skill-building, or mindfulness practice is most helpful. That decision can shift as needs change.

In general, working with a therapist remotely can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce commute time, allow for shorter check-in visits when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to bring newly learned skills into everyday situations between appointments.
