About Kate
Kate Conochan is a licensed social worker who brings 15 years of experience to therapy. She holds LISW and LCSW credentials and works from Louisiana. Kate speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps to help people feel steadier in daily life.
She uses a client-centered approach and asks each person what they want from therapy. Sessions focus on the goals the client sets, at a pace that feels manageable. Kate values a strong working relationship and aims to make first steps straightforward and clear.
Her background includes helping adults with addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. She also has experience with youth who have been in foster care or the juvenile justice system. That range informs how she tailors support for stress, relationship strains, parenting challenges, and codependency concerns.
In sessions she combines talk-based methods with exercises drawn from evidence-informed approaches. That often looks like noticing patterns, practicing new responses, and trying small behavioral changes between visits. The goal is more effective coping, clearer choices, and less overwhelm.
People who meet with her can expect a steady, nonjudgmental presence and practical tools to use outside sessions. She aims to help clients move toward their goals while respecting each person’s timeline and readiness.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and stress levels. Both approaches are practical and suit issues like anxiety, depression, codependency, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting based on what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in is needed. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and goals.
