About Kate

Kate Conochan is an Independently Licensed Social Worker. She holds LISW in Ohio and LCSW in Louisiana and has practiced for 15 years. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, anger, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and other life changes.

She has worked with both youth and adults across different settings. That includes children in foster care and young people involved in the juvenile justice system. Much of her adult work has focused on addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders.

Her style is client-centered. She asks clients what they want to change and supports their goals at a pace that fits them. Sessions emphasize honest communication and building a practical working relationship between client and therapist.

Clinically she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness approaches, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to address emotion regulation, patterns that fuel anger or avoidance, and to build clearer communication in relationships.

People who come for help with anger often also talk about stress, relationship strains, or coping with big life shifts. In sessions she will work alongside a person to identify triggers, try new responses, and practice skills that reduce reactivity over time. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking committed action toward what matters. It can help when anger gets in the way of relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns that feed anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps with emotional responses in relationships by improving how people express needs and respond to one another.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and sessions will be adapted accordingly.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills between sessions in the settings where problems actually occur. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help figure out how sessions can fit into everyday routines.
