About Kate
Kate Conochan is an Independently licensed social worker, holding LISW in Ohio and LCSW in Louisiana, with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, grief, and related life changes. Kate also supports people facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar issues, and career or coaching needs.
She has worked with both youth and adults and has experience with children in foster care and the juvenile justice system. Much of her clinical work with adults has focused on addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. That background informs how she notices patterns and responds in sessions.
Kate uses a client-centered stance that invites people to set their own goals. She aims to work alongside clients to help them reach those goals at a pace that fits them. Her practice draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to address emotions, behavior, and relationships.
In sessions she helps people name painful emotions, practice new ways to respond, and try small experiments between meetings. She also addresses communication and attachment concerns that affect relationships and parenting. Kate emphasizes building a straightforward working relationship so people can be honest about what they need.
Practical matters are discussed openly in early meetings, including what to focus on and how progress will be tracked. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire to match with her and schedule an initial session through the site.
How EFT, ACT and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions in the moment and on how those feelings shape relationships. It can help people who struggle with attachment patterns, repeated conflicts, or intimacy-related concerns recognize what lies behind their reactions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and commit to actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and situations where someone wants clearer direction despite difficult feelings.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s goals and pace. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said, and supports people as they set their own targets for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will collaborate with clients to decide which combination of EFT, ACT, CBT, or mindfulness best fits their needs and goals. That choice can evolve as therapy progresses and as practical priorities change.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques used in EFT, ACT, and CBT to work over remote sessions, focusing on emotion identification, behavioral experiments, and skill practice between meetings.
