About Kim
Dr. Kim Gorecki offers a calm, supportive space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or changes in life. She introduces simple, practical steps so parents and individuals can manage everyday pressures and rebuild routine.
Her approach is steady and goal-focused, aimed at restoring balance and clearer thinking. With 24 years of experience, she draws on work across outpatient mental health, correctional settings, and psychiatric hospitals. That range informs how she supports people through grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career or life-purpose questions.
Background and approach
She also helps those navigating parenting challenges, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and women's health topics. Dr. Gorecki combines client-centered listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find motivation for change, and solution-focused methods when short-term planning is needed. Together these approaches translate into concrete skills for communication, coping, and time or mood management. Sessions can emphasize quick, skill-based work or deeper exploration depending on each person’s needs.
She explains strategies clearly and practices active listening so clients feel heard while learning techniques that fit daily life. The goal is clearer priorities, improved communication, and more consistent coping skills. Dr.
Gorecki holds a doctorate degree in clinical psychology and is licensed as a Wisconsin Psychologist 2810 - 57. She provides services in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. In practice this means the therapist reflects back concerns, validates feelings, and helps people set their own goals, which works well for stress, relationship strain, and parenting concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and for building practical coping skills that clients can practice between sessions.
Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment and can reduce reactivity during stressful moments. Used alongside other approaches, it supports emotion regulation and steadier attention in daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try short-term experiments to see what fits best. That collaborative stance helps tailor whether sessions are skills-focused or deeper work.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging helps maintain momentum between appointments. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other daily routines.
