Kathryn Tajchman , LSCSW

Kathryn Tajchman is a Kansas-based licensed social worker who helps adults navigate difficult life transitions with practical strategies and steady support. With 10 years of clinical experience, she emphasizes strengths and builds clients' confidence as they face grief, divorce, parenthood, and other major changes. As an LSCSW - a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker - she draws on structured, evidence-based techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that interfere with progress.

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused methods to help clients focus on what is within their control and respond less reactively to stressors. Kathryn is certified in Maternal Mental Health and has experience supporting pregnant and postpartum women as well as fathers. Her background raising four adult children and growing up on a dairy farm in rural Kansas informs a practical, empathetic approach to parenting and family challenges.

Kathryn works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, and issues related to attachment, abandonment, caregiving stress, communication, and life purpose. She aims to create clear pathways for people to recognize their strengths, reduce shame and isolation, and move toward goals with greater self-compassion and resilience.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Flexible Online Care

Kathryn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused approaches in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering concrete tools for managing reactions and building healthier habits. Solution Focused work centers on clients' strengths and immediate goals, helping them map small, practical steps toward change and navigate transitions like grief, divorce, or new parenthood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathryn collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what works in real life and adjust strategies over time to stay aligned with the client's priorities.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people in different locations across Kansas. These options make it possible to engage in consistent care without travel, support parenting or caregiving routines, and maintain continuity of support during life transitions while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
