About Kate

Kate Conochan is an independently licensed social worker who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice. She is licensed as an LISW in Ohio and an LCSW in Louisiana. Kate focuses on clear, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, and major life changes.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered work to help people set their own goals and move at their own pace.

Background and approach

Kate pairs that with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help manage upsetting thoughts and strong emotions. She has worked with both youth and adults and has experience with children in foster care and the juvenile justice system. Much of her recent work has been with adults dealing with addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.

That range gives her familiarity with crises, long-term struggles, and recovery-focused work. Sessions aim to build a reliable working relationship and to make the first steps feel manageable. Kate helps people identify problem patterns, try new responses, and practice skills between sessions.

She also coaches clients through career stress, relationship tension, parenting strain, and grief. People can expect a straightforward, empathetic style that focuses on what matters most to them. Kate emphasizes collaboration and clear goals while adapting techniques to fit each person’s life and schedule.

Approaches Kate names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or compulsive habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she will blend methods and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work fits the person’s needs.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth weekly sessions where seeing expressions matters. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick reflections, brief coaching, or when someone needs to check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on steady skill building and emotional support.
