About Louis

Louis Koch is a licensed social worker with four decades of clinical practice, holding KS LSCSW LSCSW 0278 and MO LCSW 002911 credentials.

Background and approach

He has spent his career supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma, and a wide range of other challenges including ADHD and intimacy-related concerns. His background includes work across many clinical areas and a focus on helping clients navigate complex life transitions and emotional pain.

His approach centers on creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Louis draws on client-centered methods alongside evidence-informed tools to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and address patterns that undermine wellbeing.

He emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s goals and tempo as they work toward practical change. Based in Kansas, Louis offers sessions in English and provides care through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

He is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and invites those ready to begin to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Louis uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the individual’s experience, offering empathetic listening and support while helping people explore their priorities and values. This approach is helpful for those seeking a collaborative space to make sense of emotions and define personal goals. He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with focus or sleep. CBT is often used to build practical strategies that apply to daily life.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. Louis works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences, combining styles when appropriate and adjusting plans as progress is made. This collaborative stance aims to align therapeutic techniques with individual goals rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from different locations and at various times. These formats can make it easier to maintain consistency, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions as circumstances require. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions effectively across these modalities to support ongoing work toward stated goals.
