About Kate

Kate Conochan is a licensed social worker with 15 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She holds LISW and LCSW credentials and practices from Louisiana while also holding licensure in Ohio. Kate focuses on clear, practical work that meets people where they are.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and change the patterns that cause pain in close relationships. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to shape each session around what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build trust and create small, useful changes. Over her career she has supported people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and major life changes. She has worked with adults who struggle with mood and stress-related concerns, and she has experience with issues that arise around parenting, attachment, and blended families.

She also has experience related to foster care and juvenile justice from earlier work with youth. Kate describes her style as collaborative and direct. She will listen first, then help set goals that match a client's timeline.

Progress often happens through talking, trying new behaviors, and practicing different ways of responding to emotions. Her approach emphasizes a steady therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and understood. She aims to make first steps into therapy straightforward, focusing on small, realistic changes that build over time.

Online support

How emotion-focused and practical therapies work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name the emotions that shape their relationships and reactions, and then try new ways of connecting and responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them, and committing to actions that reflect personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and tests small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kate will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process means trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made, rather than committing to a single method up front.

Online sessions can fit into busy schedules and different life demands. Video calls let people work face to face, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging provide options for ongoing support between calls. These formats make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills in everyday moments while working with a licensed professional.
