About Tom

Tom Gozinske is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of experience. He practices in Wisconsin and supports people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, and other challenges. Tom aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and affirms the courage it takes to reach out.

In sessions he focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. He uses clear language and practical conversation to help people sort priorities and make small changes that matter. Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach when clients want help clarifying goals and finding internal motivation for change.

Tom works with issues such as addictions, relationship problems, and coping with life changes including divorce and bereavement. He also supports people managing mood conditions like depression and bipolar, and those dealing with compassion fatigue or ADHD-related difficulties. Additional areas he addresses include attachment and communication problems, caregiver stress, and aging or geriatric concerns.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and realistic steps rather than jargon. Tom listens first, and then helps outline options that fit a person’s life and preferences. He encourages clients to take manageable steps and track small wins along the way.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, goal-focused planning, and a patient tone that values steady progress. Tom practices in Wisconsin and conducts work in English.

How Motivational Interviewing and online therapy work together

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify what matters to someone and to build motivation for concrete steps. This method is often useful for challenges like addictions, behavior change, and moving through ambivalence.

In practice Tom combines motivational conversation with steady, practical goal-setting. He listens for what a person values, then helps translate that into doable actions. Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process based on your needs, goals, and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. The therapist’s profile does not list specific formats, so checking current choices helps match scheduling and communication needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time while still keeping the focus on progress and problem solving.
