About Kate

Kate Conochan is a licensed social worker with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She holds an Ohio Independent Licensed Social Worker credential and a Louisiana Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. Kate focuses on practical, straightforward support and works at the pace a person chooses.

She welcomes questions and helps people make the first steps feel manageable. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, grief, parenting, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She has provided therapy to both youth and adults and has experience with children who have been in foster care and those involved with the juvenile justice system. Much of her adult practice has involved supporting people dealing with addiction, trauma, life transitions, and serious mental health concerns.

She emphasizes building a trusting working relationship so people can speak honestly and set their own goals. Kate describes her approach as client-centered and collaborative, meaning she follows the client’s priorities while offering professional guidance. Sessions can focus on problem solving, coping skills, emotion regulation, and communication.

She often uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practice. Kate aims to make early appointments and steps in therapy feel straightforward and useful. She practices in Louisiana and offers services in English.

Her credentials are OH LISW I.2001998 and LA LCSW 17501. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It can be useful when life changes, stress, or parenting challenges make choices feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding and shifting patterns in relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and together choose methods that make sense. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. These options let people meet from home, fit sessions around busy days, and continue work between appointments. The range of formats aims to give flexible ways to talk, practice skills, and keep momentum in therapy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
