About Kate

Kate Lawrance is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, addiction, ADHD, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and identity concerns, and career or workplace issues.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses communication difficulties, loneliness, guilt and shame, panic attacks, and other life transitions. Her approach is collaborative and adaptive, beginning from a person-centered stance that lets the client set the pace and priorities.

She commonly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to explore how thoughts and behaviors interact, along with existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, fear, and identity. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also used to support coping, motivation, and self-awareness.

Sessions can include creative methods when appropriate to help access feelings in new ways. Kate aims to provide an engaging, supportive, and non-judgmental environment that helps clients move toward practical goals and improved functioning.

Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to available times.

Approaches and Online Access for Personalized Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often helping with anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy places the person’s own goals and experiences at the center of sessions, providing a supportive framework in which clients set the pace and direction of change. Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and identity, which can be useful when people face life transitions, feelings of emptiness, or concerns about purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works collaboratively to find what fits each person. Together they assess priorities, preferences, and goals and adjust methods over time so therapy remains relevant and practical for daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule around work, family, and other commitments while still engaging in regular therapeutic work. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and person-centered conversations to these formats so clients can progress even when meeting remotely.
