About Kate
Kate Conochan is a licensed social worker who draws on 15 years in the field to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. She holds LISW and LCSW credentials and practices from Louisiana. Her style is straightforward and client-centered, aimed at helping people set and reach goals at their own pace.
She often begins by listening closely to understand what matters most to the person sitting across from her.
Background and approach
That helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant. Sessions focus on practical steps, skills for managing emotions, and strategies to handle life’s changes. Her background includes work with adults dealing with addiction, trauma, mood concerns, and psychotic disorders.
She has also worked with youth involved in foster care and juvenile justice. This range informs how she matches approaches to each person’s situation. Kate uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to guide treatment choices.
She emphasizes building a strong working relationship so people feel heard and respected while they try new ways of coping. People can expect a calm, direct approach that balances listening with practical tools. The focus is on small, steady steps toward clearer thinking, healthier routines, and improved relationships.
Kate aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and useful.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to workable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s own goals and uses a respectful, nonjudgmental stance to foster growth.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative plan can combine elements from different approaches as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read visual cues and work in real time. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
