About Kurt
Kurt Goglin is a licensed professional counselor who centers his work on practical, evidence-based support for people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. He aims to help clients build strength and move toward meaningful change. His straightforward style focuses on real steps that make daily life easier.
With 20 years of experience, Kurt draws on approaches backed by research to address relationship strain, compassion fatigue, and motivation or self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
He also helps people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic pain or illness, and problems with communication. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and works with each person to try different strategies. Kurt often addresses issues like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and coping after separation or infidelity.
He supports men navigating identity and purpose and helps people challenged by obsessions, compulsions, panic attacks, phobias, and paranoia. Sessions focus on practical tools and gradual steps forward rather than quick fixes. He emphasizes hope and the idea that change is possible, even when situations feel stuck.
Kurt encourages people to try small experiments between sessions to test what helps and to build confidence over time. He explains options plainly and tailors the plan to each person's goals. Therapy with Kurt typically includes a mix of conversation and specific skills practice.
He welcomes questions, normalizes the courage it takes to begin, and supports clients as they track progress and adjust plans when needed.
Evidence-based techniques for online care
Many approaches shown to help with mood and anxiety are used in straightforward ways online. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving; they are useful for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood concerns. Behavioral activation focuses on scheduling meaningful activities to counter depression and low motivation, helping people regain a sense of purpose and momentum.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit needs, preferences, and the pace someone wants to work at.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
