About Kate

Kate Conochan is an Independently Licensed Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. Kate also works with issues like grief, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, and career-related stress.

She has offered therapy to both adults and young people and has worked with children in foster care and the juvenile justice system. Much of her recent work has been with adults managing addiction, trauma, life changes, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. That range informs how she approaches complex, overlapping problems.

Her way of working is client-centered. She asks people to set their own goals and then supports them in reaching those goals at their own pace. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear communication rather than jargon or long lists of techniques.

Kate draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices. She uses these tools to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and manage difficult feelings between sessions.

People who choose her often want straightforward support for relationship strain, parenting pressures, or ongoing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or trauma. She aims to build an honest working relationship and to make the first steps easier to take.

How sessions work

How Kate uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and learn to take action toward what matters despite them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions around relationships and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and behavior changes related to addiction or routines.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Kate will work with the person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may blend elements from different approaches so the work matches day-to-day needs rather than a fixed label.

The profile does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, for example by shortening travel time, allowing a quick check-in during a break, or removing the need to be on camera for every session. Discussing practical needs early on helps shape session length and structure to fit family life and work commitments.
