Kate Conochan, LISW, LCSW

Kate Conochan is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 15 years of practice to therapy. She holds LISW and LCSW credentials and works from a client-centered perspective. Kate talks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is anxious about starting therapy.

She helps people name their goals and sets a pace that fits each person's needs. Many clients come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. Kate has also worked with people facing life changes, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar mood concerns.

Her background includes work with youth and adults across several systems. She has experience supporting children from foster care and youth involved with juvenile justice, and has spent much of her clinical time with adults dealing with trauma and substance use. That range informs how she adapts sessions to different life situations.

In sessions she focuses on building an honest working relationship. She listens for what matters most to the person in front of her and helps shape useful steps toward those goals. Practical tools, gentle challenge, and collaborative planning are a regular part of how she works.

Kate practices in Louisiana and combines structured approaches with a warm, client-led style. She asks questions, checks progress, and adjusts plans so therapy stays relevant to everyday life. If someone wants straightforward support for coping and change, she aims to be a steady guide along the way.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with health challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens without directing, and supports the client to name priorities and make choices that feel right. This approach is useful for people who want a gentle, collaborative process.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through what matters most, try ideas, and adjust methods based on goals and day-to-day needs. That shared process helps match tools to real life rather than forcing a single method.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days and ongoing care. Online therapy can make it simpler to schedule appointments around work, medical visits, or caregiving. It also lets clients use sessions for quick check-ins or focused skill practice when life feels hectic. Confirm the exact session options available before booking so you know what formats are offered for scheduling.
