About Tom
Tom Gozinske is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Iowa with seven years of clinical experience. He works with people facing anger, trauma and abuse, addictions, depression, relationship strain, and the stress that comes with life changes. Tom uses plain language and steady guidance to help people talk through difficult feelings and reactions.
He focuses on making sessions direct and practical. Conversations often look at what tends to trigger strong reactions and what small changes could reduce conflict at home or work. Tom incorporates Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to build motivation for that change.
Sessions involve looking at patterns in behavior and communication. He helps clients notice unhelpful responses, practice alternatives, and set realistic steps forward. Work can include managing anger, improving communication, or coping with grief and loss.
Tom also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. He addresses family-related issues like blended family tensions, attachment concerns, and separation or divorce effects on individuals. The approach is straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what matters day to day.
People who choose Tom can expect a direct conversation about goals, practical skill work, and follow-up steps between sessions. To start, clients typically complete a short intake and schedule a first session where goals and next steps are made clear.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person clarify what they want to change and increasing their own reasons to act. In practice this looks like guided conversation, reflective listening, and setting small, achievable goals. It can help with addictions, ambivalence about behavior change, and getting unstuck from old patterns.Sessions are collaborative. The therapist and client assess problems, try short strategies, and adjust as they learn what works. Finding the right approach is part of the work rather than a one-time decision, and Tom helps clients test methods that match their goals and daily life.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to continue momentum between in-person commitments and to practice skills in the settings where conflict or anger typically arise.
