About Kate
Kate Conochan is a licensed clinical social worker who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered principles to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges.
Background and approach
With 15 years of clinical experience across youth and adult settings, she has worked with children in foster care and juvenile justice as well as adults coping with addiction, psychotic disorders, depression, and life transitions. Kate holds LISW and LCSW credentials in Ohio and Louisiana and brings a practical, goal-oriented focus to sessions.
Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s priorities, allowing clients to set their own goals while she offers tools and guidance to reach them. Kate values the therapeutic alliance as the foundation for progress and aims to create an open, straightforward atmosphere where difficult topics can be addressed.
She integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness alongside CBT to tailor interventions to each client’s needs. Clients considering online work can expect an approach that balances skills-based strategies with empathy and flexibility.
Kate encourages clear communication about goals and timelines and works to make the early steps of therapy accessible and practical for those seeking change.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Kate uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship strain and to build practical coping skills in day-to-day life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another frequent element of her work, focusing on values-driven action and learning to relate differently to difficult emotions rather than trying to eliminate them. Client-centered therapy provides the relational framework for these methods by emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and respected.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances and then recommend strategies that make sense together, adjusting methods over time as progress and feedback guide the work. This helps ensure that interventions fit the person rather than forcing a single modality on every case.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving, and geographic limits. These formats allow for regular contact, skills practice between meetings, and easier scheduling so clients can focus on consistent progress without added logistical strain.
