About Kate
Kate Conochan is an Independently Licensed Social Worker with 15 years of experience. She holds LISW in Ohio and LCSW in Louisiana and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns.
She uses a client-centered approach that lets each person set their own goals. Sessions focus on clear steps the client wants to take and on practical strategies to manage symptoms and daily challenges. Conversation is direct and goal-oriented, with attention to where the person is right now.
Her background includes work with both youth and adults, and experience with children in foster care and the juvenile justice system. Much of her adult work has involved addiction, trauma, life changes, mood disorders, and anxiety. That mix shapes how she structures sessions and plans next steps.
Therapeutic methods she draws on include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices. Those approaches are used to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and practice new skills between sessions.
Clients can expect straightforward collaboration about goals and pacing. The therapist aims to build an honest working relationship and to support practical progress toward the goals the client sets. To begin, people follow the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How CBT and ACT inform online work
Kate uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and habitual responses, then practice specific alternatives. CBT focuses on clear exercises and behavioral experiments that translate well to sessions and between-session practice.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to take committed steps toward those values. ACT uses mindfulness and values-based action to address avoidance and stuck patterns.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, current problems, and preferences, then suggest techniques from CBT, ACT, or client-centered work that fit. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan together.
