About Kate

Kate Conochan brings a client-centered, collaborative approach developed over 15 years in social work and psychotherapy. As an LISW and LCSW licensed in Ohio and Louisiana, she prioritizes a strong therapeutic alliance and helps clients set goals that reflect their priorities and timelines.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes empathy, practical skills, and building a trusting relationship where people can explore stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and challenges such as addiction and relationship difficulties.

Kate has supported both youth and adults across varied settings, including work with children involved in foster care and juvenile justice, and substantial experience treating adults facing trauma, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.

She blends evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Kate aims to make starting therapy approachable and to guide clients through early steps so progress feels manageable and meaningful.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical growth

Kate often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, using mindfulness and acceptance skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and to build concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused techniques are woven in to support improving emotional awareness and connection in relationships when relevant.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts interventions over time as progress and circumstances change. This collaborative stance aims to make therapy feel tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or reach services from different locations within the region. These formats allow licensed professionals to use the same evidence-informed techniques as in-person work while offering more scheduling options and ways to stay engaged between sessions.
