About Tory
Tory Koetterhagen is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, licensed in Wisconsin with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem and confidence, motivation, and depression. Tory writes plainly and works to make sessions practical and straightforward.
In sessions she talks through what is contributing to day-to-day stress and helps people develop specific skills to cope. She uses evidence-based methods to break problems into manageable steps and to try small changes that can have an immediate effect. Conversations include looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing concrete coping skills, and setting short-term goals.
Tory also supports people dealing with life transitions and loss. That includes end-of-life and hospice related concerns, questions about aging, and the strain that sometimes comes with changing roles. She addresses feelings like guilt, shame, and difficulties with forgiveness in clear, direct ways.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide practical work in sessions. She pays attention to cultural factors and how they shape someone’s experience. Tory aims to help clients leave sessions with a plan they can try that week.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, prioritized goals, and repeated skill practice. The focus is on usable strategies for everyday life. For scheduling, the site’s booking flow outlines the next steps to begin.
BHow sessions work
How Tory uses CBT, DBT, and solution-focused work online
Tory frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT involves identifying thoughts that get in the way, testing whether those thoughts are accurate, and practicing different behaviors to produce better results in daily life.Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques can help when feelings feel overwhelming and when people need concrete skills to manage crisis moments or reduce strong reactivity.
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the conversation to goals and next steps. It helps set short-term, practical targets so clients can try experiments between sessions and check what works.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Tory will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they pick methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust them as work progresses.
Details about session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
