About Kate
Kate Conochan is an Independently Licensed Social Worker in Ohio and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship struggles, codependency, and life changes. Kate also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She uses a client-centered style that asks people to set their own goals. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps they can take. Kate emphasizes building an honest working relationship so people can speak frankly about what is going on in their lives.
Her background includes years of work with adults who have substance use and trauma histories, and with youth connected to foster care and juvenile justice systems. That experience informs how she approaches addiction, trauma, and complex life transitions with adults.
In practice she combines client-centered work with clear, structured techniques. Those include cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and shift unhelpful thinking, mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity, and acceptance-based ideas to clarify values and next steps. Emotion-focused work is used when relationships and attachment matters are central.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's timeline. People who struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or living around another person's moods can expect direct conversation about boundaries and coping skills. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule the first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, workable steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be useful for people stuck in people-pleasing patterns or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change feelings and behavior. That can help with anxiety, depression, and boundary-setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist working alongside them rather than directing the process.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will choose approaches and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet without traveling. These practical benefits can help people keep consistency while they work on boundaries, managing others' demands, or coping with stress.
