About Kate
Kate Conochan is a licensed social worker who combines practical strategies with a warm, client-centered style. She holds LISW and LCSW credentials and brings 15 years in the field to conversations about stress, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, and trauma. She focuses on clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Kate prefers a collaborative approach that puts each person's priorities first. She helps people name what matters, break problems into manageable steps, and try new skills between sessions.
Background and approach
This makes therapy feel like a series of small, doable changes instead of an overwhelming task. Her background includes work with adults facing addiction, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. She also has experience with youth connected to foster care and the juvenile justice system.
Those roles shaped her ability to work calmly with complex situations and strong emotions. Sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused techniques. Kate uses these approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns, manage difficult feelings, and make values-based choices.
She adapts methods to suit each person's life and pace. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Kate works from Louisiana and provides services in English.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice stressful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behavior experiments to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. It is practical and skill-based for problems such as depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person directs the work and the therapist reflects and supports their choices.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their situation. This is a collaborative process and techniques are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection, and more frequent touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and varied schedules.
