01About Tom
Tom Gozinske is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Wisconsin and brings seven years of experience to his work. He focuses on helping people manage stress, addiction, mood concerns, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Tom aims to make beginning therapy straightforward for people taking that first step.
He keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on what matters most now - safety, coping skills, and small steps toward change.
Background and approach
He creates space for honest talk without judgment so clients can name their struggles and start to sort them out. Tom uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. That approach is useful for behaviors like substance use, patterns that cause relationship strain, and when motivation feels stuck.
He helps clients weigh options and build momentum one decision at a time. In sessions Tom also addresses mood disorders such as depression and bipolar concerns, attention differences like ADHD, and problems that spring from long-term stress or caregiver strain. He works with issues tied to family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and relationship challenges by focusing on clear goals and doable steps.
People meet him for short-term work around a single issue or for longer support through life transitions. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication needs.

How Motivational Interviewing and Online Sessions Work Together
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people resolve mixed feelings and find personal reasons to change. It uses open questions, reflective listening, and gentle guidance so clients can weigh options and decide on goals that matter to them. This approach is especially useful for addressing addictive behaviors, commitment struggles, and getting unstuck from patterns that cause distress.Tom frames therapy as a collaborative process. He will help clients pick approaches that match their goals and preferences rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all method. Together they identify steps to try, monitor what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work as a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people reach out between appointments or use words rather than speech when that feels easier. These options offer flexibility so work, caregiving, and other commitments are easier to balance while getting help from a licensed professional.
