About Kate
Kate Conochan is a licensed social worker with 15 years of experience. She holds an independently licensed social work credential in Ohio and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in Louisiana. Kate focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns.
She uses a client-centered style that begins by listening. Kate asks people what matters most and helps them set goals that fit their life. Sessions move at each person's pace so progress happens on their timeline.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with adults facing addiction, trauma, life changes, mood concerns, and psychotic disorders. She also has experience with youth who have been involved in foster care and the juvenile justice system. That range informs how she tailors support for different situations.
In sessions she blends approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and focus on values that matter to them. Kate offers conversation, practical tools, and steady support.
She aims to build an open working relationship so people feel understood and able to try new steps. The first sessions focus on what the person wants to change and how to move forward.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to actions that reflect personal values. It helps when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest which methods might fit best. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work in real time with visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when a shorter interaction fits your schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines while keeping treatment consistent.
